DescriptionThis is a color print view from the air of Hampton Court, in England. The canal runs diagonally from the bottom center of the print to above the lower right corner and on off the page. The palace is situated near the lower left side. There is a semi-circular garden behind the palace with a fountain and three hedgerow-lined pathways radiating from it. In the lower right corner, there is a three-dimensional platform, and on this it says, "HAMPTON COURT." On top of this platform, there is a shield with the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, held up by a crowned lion on the left and a unicorn on the right. Inside a ribbon below the coat of arms, it says, "SEMPER EADEM."
