Antique print titled 'Principal Front of Kirby Hall'. Kirby Hall is an Elizabethan country house, located near Gretton, Northamptonshire, England. The nearest main town is Corby. One of the great Elizabethan houses of England, Kirby Hall was built for Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, beginning in 1570. In 1575 the property was purchased by Sir Christopher Hatton of Holdenby,[1] Lord Chancellor to Queen Elizabeth I. It is a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house. Construction on the building began in 1570, based on the designs in French architectural pattern books and expanded in the Classical style over the course of the following decades. The house is now in a semi-ruined state with many parts roof-less although the Great Hall and state rooms remain intact. The gardens, with their elaborate "cutwork" design, complete with statues and urns, have been recently restored. Anne of Denmark stayed at Kirby on 9 August 1605 while King James stayed at Rockingham Castle. King James stayed for three days in August 1616. During a royal progress Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox died at Kirby of the "spotted ague" on 30 July 1624. The building and gardens are owned by the Earl of Winchilsea and are managed by English Heritage. Kirby Hall has been used as a filming location in many productions. These include the following; an episode (6. Protest and Communication) of Kenneth Clark...

Nubia and Abyssinia – Venetian Map of Northeast Africa, Zatta, 1784 This detailed late-18th-century map depicts Nubia and Abyssinia, covering large parts of present-day Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and the Horn of Africa. The map is titled “La Nubia ed Abissinia” and was published in Venice in 1784 by Antonio Zatta, one of the most important Italian map publishers of the period. It forms part of Zatta’s monumental Atlante Novissimo, produced with the privilege of the Venetian Senate. The map presents the Nile basin in exceptional detail, tracing the river from its upper reaches through Nubia toward Egypt, while also mapping the Red Sea coast, inland mountain ranges, deserts, and regional kingdoms. Political and regional boundaries are outlined in contemporary hand color, distinguishing Nubia, Abyssinia, and neighboring territories. Numerous towns, tribal regions, rivers, and topographical features are carefully named, reflecting the synthesis of classical sources, Jesuit reports, and more recent travel accounts available to European geographers in the late Enlightenment period. Zatta’s cartography represents the Italian continuation of the scientific mapping tradition pioneered by Delisle and d’Anville, emphasizing clarity, proportional accuracy, and critical compilation of sources. While interior Africa remained imperfectly known, this map shows a marked departure from earlier speculative geography, replacing legend with measured structure and comparative reasoning. The decorative title cartouche, engraved in a restrained architectural style, anchors the upper right and reflects the sober elegance characteristic of Venetian Enlightenment cartography. Latitude and longitude lines, clean engraving, and balanced composition give the map strong visual presence without excess ornamentation. This map is particularly appealing to collectors of African cartography, Nile exploration history, Ethiopian history, and Enlightenment-era geography. It also serves as an excellent intellectual counterpart to earlier French coastal and regional charts of Africa, illustrating the progression of European geographic knowledge during the 18th century. Condition report Good condition overall. Central vertical fold as issued. Light age toning and some mild discoloration, more noticeable along the fold. Minor scattered spots and faint handling marks. Original outline hand color. Plate mark visible. Margins intact. Framing tips A wide off-white or light sand-colored mat is recommended to balance the dense interior detail and preserve visual calm. A medium to dark wood frame enhances the engraved line work and complements the restrained hand coloring. Particularly effective as a scholarly centerpiece or paired with Indian Ocean or Nile-related maps. Technique: Copper engraving with contemporary outline hand color Maker: Antonio Zatta, Venice, 1784 Keywords: Nubia map, Abyssinia map, Ethiopia antique...

18th century German, a hand-colored engraving of a dressage horse and rider from Description du Manège Moderne by Friedrich Wilhelm, Baron Rais d' Eisenberg (German, ca. 1700-ca. 1770). Engraved by Bernard Picart (French, 1673-1733). Titled "Le Brillant", this dressage engraving is plate XXXIII. There is a gallery label verso. The print is matted and framed under UF-3 plexiglass, which offers the maximum amount of UV protection (approx. 97%). This print was originally part of an illustrated book Baron d'Eisenberg made describing the art of the cavaliers and depicting the different breeds of horses- The full title of the book is L'Art de Monter a Cheval: ou Description du Manége Moderne, Dans sa Perfection, published in Leipzig: Arkstée et Merkus, 1747). A set of 7 framed engravings from the same book sold at Sotheby's for $9,500 (plus tax and buyers premium). Reference: The author, a German horseman and artist, spent some of his youth at the manège of Saxe-Weimar before entering into the service of the Emperor. He then spent six years in Naples as the Master of Horse of the Viceroy before returning to Vienna where he studied under M. de Regenthal, the imperial Master of Horse. He participated in the coronation of the Emperor Charles V at Frankfurt in 1711, then spent some time in England, but was back in Germany before 1753. He probably died in Tuscany where he was Director and Master of the Horse at the Academy in Pisa. Brunet II, 957; Mennessier de la Lance I, p. 438. The Baron wrote several important and lavishly illustrated books on horses: his Description du manège moderne dans sa perfection, London 1727, and Dictionnaire des termes du manège moderne, 1747, being the best well-known. He dedicated Description du Manège Moderne to King George II and to his son, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Subscribers to the book included royalty and nobility from all over Europe.
