The plates are facsimiles of those printed in 1739 for Sarah Bridgeman, the widow of Charles Bridgeman. After her death the remaining stock of engraved plates was bought up by a group of four print sellers who added the title-page (in English and French with captions to the plates) dated 1746: Stowe Gardens in Buckinghamshire, belonging to the right honourable the Lord Viscount Cobham; laid out by Mr Bridgman [sic.], principal gardener to their Majesties King George I and II. Delineated in a large plan, and fifteen perspective views. Drawn on the spot by Mons. Rigaud, and engraved by him and Mons. Bernard Baron. … This facsimile edition has a new title-page, colofon, list of subscribers, an account of the original publication and descriptive notes to each of the plates by George B. Clarke [pp. 6 with plan].
“… The most magnificent of these private estates was Stowe, seat of Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham, and the most celebrated English landscape of the day. … Numerous poems and guidebooks attest to Stowe’s glories, and in 1733-4 Bridgeman commissioned Rigaud and Baron to prepare their sumptuous set of views of Stowe which (with a plan) were published by Sarah Bridgeman, the year after her husband’s death” (Jellicoe).
