An etching of Kew Palace, seen from the south side of lake. A boat on the left with four figures fishing. A swan-shaped boat behind. Lettered below in English and French, with the publication line 'Published by John Bowles in Cornhill, Robert Sayer in Fleet Street and Carington Bowles in St Paul's Church Yard'. The plate was first engraved by Canot after William Woollett for William Chambers’s Plans, Elevations, Sections and Perspective Views of the Gardens and Buildings at Kew, published in 1763 and dedicated to the Dowager Princess of Wales. The publication was ‘undertaken by Royal Command’ and funded ‘by Royal Bounty’. This is a later reissue of the print. The Swan Boat was a gift to George III (when Prince of Wales) on his seventeenth birthday in 1755.
