Nash's publication consists of a series of views of Tudor domestic architecture, which Nash said depicted "the most characteristic features of the domestic architecture of the Tudor Age, and also illustrating the costumes, habits, and recreations of our ancestors." The scenes of the aristocratic ladies and gentlemen (including Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I), who are depicted inhabiting the rooms of these great houses, were taken directly from the portraits on the walls.

These lithographs would make an attractive wall display as they are presented in identical brown wood frames with beaded inner trims and beige fabric mats and light brown inner mats. They are in excellent condition. Each frame measures 16.63" x 18.63" x 1.63". less
