The article discusses the early drawings of Bolsover Castle in England. It states that the castle is engraved in the "La Méthode Nouvelle" based on the drawings of John Harris "The Artist and the County House." It is believed that each of the drawing corresponds to the seven Renishaw drawings for engraving of Bolsover as backcloth to Newcastle on horseback demonstrations. It is expressed that the point of view of the drawing was lowered to show the Newcastle below the south front of the castle in the engraved portion. Accordingly, the shading of the drawing misinterprets the existing hall and facade of the castle.
