Palace Yard, located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal, is a historic square that has witnessed countless significant events throughout its existence. Overlooking the bustling Commerce Square, this picturesque location offers visitors a breathtaking view of the Statue of King Jose I by Machado de Castro. One engraving depicts a gruesome scene from history - the Beheading of the Royalist Duke Hambleton and the Earls of Cambridge and Holland, along with Lord Capell in 1649. This haunting image serves as a reminder of Palace Yard's dark past and its connection to political turmoil. Another engraving captures The Arrest of Irish MPs near the House of Commons. It showcases how Palace Yard was not only witness to local affairs but also international conflicts that unfolded right on its doorstep. In contrast to these somber depictions, an enchanting engraving titled "The Premier Distributing the Loaves and Fishes to the Labourers in his Vineyard" portrays a momentous event where people gathered joyfully in Palace Yard on May 9th, 1772. This celebration symbolizes unity and prosperity among laborers under their benevolent leader. The arts have also found their place within Palace Yard's history. An engraving showcasing "Iolanthe" at Savoy Theatre reveals how cultural performances brought life and entertainment to this vibrant square. Furthermore, Cleopatra's Needle finds itself depicted in another engraving as it stands proudly within Palace Yard's proposed site. This ancient Egyptian obelisk adds an air of mystique and grandeur to this already captivating location. Political clashes were not uncommon either; one intriguing engraving titled "Mr Bradlaugh and the House of Commons" shows scenes from attempts at forcible entry into Parliament during heated debates. These incidents highlight both political passion and unrest that often spilled over into Palace Yard itself. Not limited solely to Lisbon's palace yard alone, there are other renditions such as Coventry's Palace Yard, depicted in a colorful lithograph.
