This is a prospectus by the English artist John Pine for a series of engravings. Pine was a renowned engraver and printer of the 18th century. The prospectus depicts a scene of the foundation ceremony of the Order of the Bath, a British order of chivalry founded in the 14th century. The artwork is an elaborate design with a large illustration at the top and a detailed list of subscribers below. This prospectus would have been used to solicit subscriptions from wealthy patrons interested in acquiring the engravings and supporting the project.
