British Isles Views at The Baynton-Williams Gallery

KIP, Johannes
Born in Amsterdam in 1653, moved to Westminster in about 1688. He died there in 1722. Engraver noted for his topographical work. Many of his engraving were after Leonard Knyff, and their famous work is Britannia Illustrata or Nouveau Theatre de la Grande Bretagne, published from 1708. A later edition was published by Joseph Smith from 1724. He also engraved the plates for Atkins' History of Gloucestershire and for Hasted's History of Kent.

Gloucestershire: Alderly the seat of Mrs Hale, Widdow of Matthew Hale. J. Kip delin et Sculp. A plain Queen Anne house. The surrounds are more interesting, and the formal garden and the kitchen garden are ideal. Short repair to the foot of the centre fold, otherwise good condition. Plate size: 35 x 43cm £ 180.
Kent: Smiths Hall one of ye Seats of John Brewer Esq. J. Kip Sculp. Plate Size: 35.5 x 43cm. £ 140

KIP, Johannes
Churches

These views are generally known as Kip because he engraved most of the views for Britannia Illustrata, a magnificent series of views of cities, towns and houses throughout the country. These important churches are typical of the fine work, but none of them actually bear Kip’s name.

The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity in Chichester.
Viewed from the south, with a very high wall round the Bishop’s house. There are no buildings shown in West Street. Peeping over the ridge of the roof of the Cathedral is the top of the Bell Tower. Usually the tower is not nearly as clear as it is in this print. It is a particularly good impression, almost certainly printed before 1710.
Plate size: 46 x 59cm.
£240

The North West Prospect of the Cathedrall Church of St. Mary, Salisburry.
This is credited. Ja. Collins Sculpsit is shown in the lower right corner of the view. At the top of the spire is written 410 ft in an early hand: someone told us that the figure is wrong, it should be 408 feet! This is also a fine impression, some very minor soiling.
Plate size: 47 x 59cm.

WATERS, W.E.
[View of Dover from Waterloo Crescent.] To Benjamin Eveleigh Winthrop Esquire This Engraving from an original Drawing, is most respectfully dedicated by his obedient servant, Geo. Warren.
W.E. Waters del. Day & Son lithrs to the Queen. Published by George Warren, Marine Library, Marine Parade, Dover.
No date, circa 1850. Despite the reference in the title to 'engraving', this is a tinted lithograph. It was common practice at this date to refer to any prints as engravings. The view is looking eastwards. The cliffs, with the castle on top, are shown in the background. The harbour seems to be not more than a couple of small jetties, just large enough to cope with the little paddle steamer that is just leaving. The frontage of the magnificent crescent is on the left. The promenade, lit by gaslights, attracts several families, children play on the beach, and there are bathing machines that appear to be covered with canvas with extensions to allow the user into the water in complete secrecy. It is a lovely subject. There are some minor imperfections, but generally the condition is very good.
Image size: 250 x 420mm.
£300

KING, Daniel
The South Prospect of ye Collegiate Church of Beverley. (repeated in Latin.)
Daniel King, delin et sculpsit.
Arms and dedication to Michael Warton.
Etching. No date, printed c.1718.
Not much is known about this competent etcher, even his dates, but he worked from about 1650. His style is akin to that of Hollar, who was a few years senior to King. King was particularly good at drawing and etching churches, of which there are over fifty subjects. This view of Beverley is typical. The print shows the building with a little shading round it, but the surrounds are left plain, no animation, and nothing in the sky other that the coat of arms and the title.
image 20.5 x 30cm. Very good condition.
