Description:

View of Caverswall Castle in Staffordshire, featuring the moat and the bridge. The mansion depicted in this image was built on the foundations of a 13th-century castle. Originally home of the Caverswall family, the unattended castle was bought in 1615 by Matthew Cradock, who built the mansion as it still stands today.

The credit line reads “From a sketch by J. L. Pratt,” which is probably a typo. An 1845 edition of this drawing attributes the original sketch to “H. L. Pratt,” which seems consistent with this artist’s career and work.
