Description
Allard (Carel, publisher) ‘T lust-hof van zyn Britannische Majesteit Willem de Deerde op ‘T Loo...; Representations au naturel de Loo, Maison de Plaisance de Sa Majesté Britannique Guillaume III, title in Dutch & French printed in red & black, 16 engraved plates of gardens by Allard and/or Laurens Scherm, old ink stamp "C.L.v.G.P." surmounted by a coronet to title, contemporary marbled wrappers, rubbed, spine worn, [Not in BAL or Berlin Kat.], oblong 4to, C.Allard, Amsterdam, [c.1700].
⁂ Rare suite of views of the exterior and gardens of Het Loo, William III’s summer palace near Appeldoorn in the Netherlands, built to designs by the architect Jacob Roman in the mid 1680s before William’s accession to the British throne. The layout of the elaborate formal gardens seems to have been finalised by 1692 and William died in 1702 which narrows the date for the engravings, particularly as the avenues in the garden are shown fully grown.
