Magnificent series with views of the country house 'Zuylestein' and its gardens, situated between Leersum and Amerongen on the road from Utrecht to Arnhem.
The series starts with a beautiful bird's eye view of the estate: a reduced version of Stoopendaal's large view (Hollstein XXVIII, Stoopendaal, 51; The Anglo-Dutch Garden, p. 185, illustr.), followed by the gate (nr. 2), views on the house (nrs. 3-8), garden views (nrs. 9-13), bird's eye view from the garden towards the hills of the 'Utrechtse heuvelrug' (nr. 14), view of the road from Utrecht (nr. 15), bird's eye views from the house to Royestein and  Wayesteyn (Lienden, Ingen), towards Utrecht and Amerongen (nrs. 16-18), bird's eye view from the 'Wafelyzer' towards Amerongen and Zuylesteyn (nr. 19), view of the house coming from Amerongen (nr. 20), and a view of the village Leersum (nr. 21).
Stoopendaal's large bird's eye view  of the house and gardens (here in reduced form) must date from after 1710, the year in which Frederick van Nassau-Zuylesteyn (1682-1738) was rewarded by the gift of the estate. It shows the layout as it was realized under his father Willem van Nassau-Zuylesteyn (1649-1708), who belonged to the intimate circle of friends of the stadholder/King William III.
Zuylesteyn had become the property of Prince Frederick Hendrik, son of William the Silent, in 1630. He modernized the house and was responsible for the arrangement of gardens and plantations over a period of ten years. In 1640 he donated the estate to his bastard son Frederick (1624-1672), who was tutor to William III from 1659 to 1666.
Stoopendaal's aerial view shows the gardens in another form. The canal round the house , forecourt and gardens was largely drained and replaced by a wall. Another part of the canal was standardized into ponds. At the end of the most westerly pond a large pavilion had been erected. These beautifications of Zuylesteyn were doubtless stimulated by William van Nassau-Zuylesteyn's position at the Court of William III who was regularly a hunting guest at Zuylesteyn.- Very rare.

Good copy with clear impressions, with the book-plate of Th. J. Verrijn Stuart and ownership entry in pencil of J.H. Gispen, dated 26-09-'49.
