Windsor Castle. View from the north, c. 1700, over the river. In the foreground, a harvest of corn or hay is being gathered in. There are two sailing barges on the water, one of them under sail, and the other, travelling in the opposite direction, being drawn by six horses. Windsor Bridge appears to the left, and there is a small boat in the mill-stream to the right. The Round Tower is in the centre of the Castle, with St. George's Chapel and the Curfew Tower to the right. 18th century: print, with the caption, "Windsor Castle. Note Datchet Bridge was built by Queen Anne since this was done." Datchet Bridge, not shown in this view, was built in 1706, closed in 1794, and never rebuilt. The print was engraved by Jan Kip, from a drawing by Leonard Knyff, and published in "Britiannia Illustrata" in 1707
