This anonymous engraving, likely made between 1777-1790, depicts Sutton Place, a manor house in Kent, England. The print was created for Edward Hasted’s *History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent* (vols. 1-3) and shows the building before renovations. The image, rendered in a detailed and precise style, provides a glimpse into the architectural history of this significant English manor house. The artist’s attention to detail, particularly the elaborate facade, offers a visual record of the home's past. The image can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York.
