EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a reduced copy of Fishers Ground Plan of the Royal Palace of Whitehall, taken during the reign of Charles II in 1680. The intricate details captured by artist William Patten transport us back to 17th century London, England. The image depicts the grandeur and architectural splendor of Whitehall Palace, once located in Westminster. This historic map provides a fascinating glimpse into the layout and structure of this magnificent palace that served as the primary residence for English monarchs for over three centuries. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print evokes a sense of nostalgia and takes us on a journey through time. Every line and curve on this meticulously drawn map tells a story about the city's past, offering insight into how it has evolved over centuries. As we explore this piece further, we are reminded of Sir Walter Besant's book "Westminster" published in 1897. It is from his work that this reproduction was made, preserving not only John Fisher's original survey but also capturing Patten's skillful interpretation. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document. It allows us to appreciate the rich heritage embedded within London's streets while honoring those who have contributed to its preservation throughout history.
