This engraving by Johannes Kip, titled *Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne: Ou Description Exacte des Palais de La Reine, et des Maisons les plus considerables...de la Grande Bretagne*, depicts Hampton Court Palace. The Dutch-born artist Kip specialized in creating detailed engravings of grand architecture, as seen in this view of the palace’s elaborate formal gardens. Kip’s engraving showcases the palatial complex’s vast scope, reflecting the opulence of the royal court. The intricate detail, from the symmetrical layout of the gardens to the individual trees, offers a bird’s-eye perspective that allows viewers to appreciate the grandeur of the palace.
