Frogmore. William Henry Pyne. Hand-colored Aquatint Engraving. From 'The History of the Royal Residences'. London: W. H. Pyne, 1819. (Drawn by C. Wilde, Engraved by W J Bennett). 10 3/4 x 13 inches sheet, 19 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches framed. In 1816, William H. Pyne took to publishing himself, with a book entitled The History of the Royal Residences. The work is one of the few to emphasize details of interior architectural design including vaulting, pilasters and coffered ceilings. Decorative arts are highlighted as well, and include Old Master paintings, draperies, furniture and carpets. Each plate was printed first in a single tint, with the exteriors printed in blue for the sky and brown for the buildings and foregrounds. Each sheet was then colored by hand, affording a great range of color and attention to detail that color-printed plates lack.
