"Cobham Hall in the County of Kent" is an engraving by John Bayly from the 18th century. This detailed artwork depicts the grand Cobham Hall, a country house in Kent, England, from a slightly elevated perspective. The viewer is positioned to see the house from the front, flanked by trees that frame the composition. Bayly's meticulous depiction of the building's architecture and the surrounding landscape showcases the artistic precision and detail characteristic of 18th-century engraving. The work was created for "The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent" (1777-1790), a multi-volume publication highlighting the history and architecture of the county.
