EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic exterior of the Chapel Royal, Whitehall in 1881. Designed by Inigo Jones and completed in 1622, the Banqueting House stands as a significant example of English architecture in the neo-classical style. Converted into a chapel after the destruction of the original Chapel Royal in a fire in 1698, this historic structure holds great religious importance. The Palace of Whitehall, located in Westminster outside London, served as the primary residence for English monarchs from 1530 until its unfortunate demise in 1698. The image showcases not only the architectural beauty but also offers a glimpse into England's rich history.
