This engraving, titled "A View of Cliveden in Buckinghamshire, the seat of the Right Honourable the Earl of Inchiquin" takes us back to 1759 and offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of this remarkable estate. The image showcases the original house built in 1666, which was owned by Anne Countess of Orkney and her husband, the 4th Earl of Inchiquin. Nestled along the picturesque River Thames, Cliveden boasts breathtaking parkland and meticulously manicured gardens that stretch as far as the eye can see. The scene captures a joyous fete galante champetre taking place on its grounds - an Italianate mansion serving as a backdrop for this splendid occasion. The enchanting atmosphere is palpable; one can almost hear laughter echoing through these stately home's halls. It is evident that Cliveden was not just a residence but also a hub for social gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, tragedy struck in 1795 when fire ravaged this architectural masterpiece, forever altering its landscape. However, through Sullivan's masterful engraving technique preserved within this print, we are transported back to an era where Cliveden stood proudly against nature's embrace. This artwork serves as both a historical record and an invitation to immerse oneself in the beauty that once graced Buckinghamshire's countryside. A testament to human creativity and resilience amidst adversity, it reminds us of our connection with history while inspiring awe for those
