Exterior of the New Ball-Room, Buckingham Palace, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Exterior of the New Ball-Room, Buckingham Palace, 1856. This is a handsome addition to the southern side of the main body of the Palace, projecting from the side known...as the Dining-room front...The throne end of the room abuts upon the garden...The front is relieved by a projection at each end, having two pillars each, and being surmounted by trophies at the angles. Five windows light this front. Above them there is a frieze, enriched with a scroll ornament, which gives a finish to the building, which would otherwise look plain. The height of this room externally cannot be less than fifty feet; whilst its length is more than one hundred and twenty feet...The whole of this side of the Palace from the Park front has lately been much improved by the addition of a new railing, with stone piers; and some of the open spaces have been planted with shrubs and evergreens'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Exterior of the New Ball-Room at Buckingham Palace, taken in 1856. The New Ball-Room is an elegant addition to the southern side of the main body of the Palace, projecting from what is now known as the Dining-room front. The throne end of the room abuts upon the garden, providing a seamless transition between the grand interior and the Palace's lush grounds. The front of the New Ball-Room is adorned with two pillars at each end, each surmounted by trophies at the angles. Five windows gracefully light up this front, allowing natural light to filter in and illuminate the room's opulence. Above the windows, a frieze enriched with a scroll ornament adds a refined finish to the building, making it a visual delight both day and night. The height of this room externally cannot be less than fifty feet, while its length is more than one hundred and twenty feet, making it a significant architectural addition to the Palace. The entire side of Buckingham Palace from the Park front has recently been enhanced by the addition of a new railing, with stone piers, and some of the open spaces have been planted with shrubs and evergreens, adding to the Palace's beauty and charm. This photograph is an exquisite snapshot of history, capturing the grandeur and sophistication of the New Ball-Room at Buckingham Palace during the mid-19th century. The intricate details of the architecture, the lush greenery, and the sense of history make this image a true treasure for anyone interested in the history and culture of the United Kingdom.
