 one of his plates, being that of a yew-tree, or box-tree, 

 in some garden, with a bower in it. He engraved also 

 Albury, in Surrey, the seat of Lord Arundel, with its 

 vineyard.

 gardens in the background, as in the original picture 

 of Sir Philip Sydney, by Zucchero, from which Vertue 

 engraved his very fine print. In the Ashmolean 

 Museum is, among others of the family, a portrait of
