 Johannes Kip
was a draughtsman and engraver. He accomplished many
portraits, views and book illustrations and his pictures
gave a bird's eye view of several English country seats
including Windsor Castle. His works are archaeologically
significant for the information they now give us about
this period of British architecture, landscape and
design. He was born in 1653 and died in 1722. The
Jacobean Toddington Manor and Estate dates from about
1620. |
