. S. Hooper, 1784. Print. Near Fine. Item #1665570

Matted and ready for framing. Faint traces of foxing to plan.

Two prints single matted (mat measures 11 3/4 x 18). The first print is a view of Castor Hall and the adjacent Caister Castle, in ruins save the tower. The second print, entitled 'Fostolf or Caster Castle Norfolk' shows a birds'-eye view plan labeled by section. This structure was originally built by the nobleman who inspired Shakespeare's character Falstaff, Sir John Fastolf. A great deal of damage occurred during its siege by the Duke of Norfolk in 1469, from which it never recovered.
