Pl. 32  "Grove House in Middlesex the Seat of Mrs. Luther"

Charming hand-colored engraving published as an illustration to William Angus's The Seats of the Nobility and Gentry in Great Britain and Wales, published in London between 1787 and 1807.  With its accompanying text which describes the situation and grounds of the manor, "this elegant villa is...inferior to but a few on the Banks of the Thames, though surrounded by a great number of Seats of People of Fortune..." is a delightful view.
