EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Ancient Palace of the Savoy, a majestic fortress that once stood proudly on the banks of the River Thames in London. Created by Gray in 1844, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this remarkable structure. The Savoy Palace was founded by Peter de Savoy, who became Earl of Savoy and Richmond during his visit to England in 1245. It served as the residence for John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, until it met its tragic fate during the Peasants Revolt in 1381. In this engraving from "Illustrated London News", we can see the grandeur and fortification of this medieval palace. Its towering walls and intricate architecture reflect both strength and elegance. The landscape surrounding it is peaceful yet bustling with activity—a true representation of life along the River Thames during that era. Gray's attention to detail brings out every line and texture on this historical masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when kings and queens ruled over vast lands, where castles were symbols of power and prestige. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also as an invitation to explore further into Britain's fascinating past.
