Descripción

1773 COPPER ENGRAVING RARE ANTIQUE BOOKPLATE PRINT A VIEW OF WINDSOR CASTLE AND PALACE The original construction, a motte and bailey (an artificial hill with with a fenced area at the top), was built for William the Conqueror around the year 1080. Originally part of a ring of defences around London, Windsor Castle gradually became a popular Royal residence because of the good hunting in the nearby forest. The Round Tower, along with the original outer wall, was erected for King Henry II. Further improvements and enlargements took place over the centuries until the magnificent castle we see today finally emerged in 1830. A favourite of Queen Victoria, the castle survived for most of the last century with few changes. PUBLISHED DATE 1773 LONDON PRINTED FOR R. GOADBY SOLD BY J.
