Description
view of Nonsuch Palace, with carriages and deer hunting, a panel of female costume figures below, after Georg Hoefnagel, hand-coloured engraving, 325 x 445mm., Latin text verso, dated in the plate 1582, repaired split at foot of central vertical fold, Cologne, c.1582 or later. The scene records the arrival of Elizabeth I at Nonsuch Palace during the short period it was not in royal ownership, then belonging to the Earl of Arundel. It is one of only 3 known images of the palace built by Henry VIII near Epsom, in Surrey, in 1538, but demolished only 150 years later. It was a totally new building, rather than an adaptation of an existing one, incorporating some of the first Renaissance architecture in England, including elaborate stucco panels visible in this plate. Apart from fragments in museums, no other trace remains.
