Gatehouse of St Jamess Palace, London, 1924-1926
Gatehouse of St Jamess Palace, London, 1924-1926. Situated on the Mall just to the north of St Jamess Park, St Jamess Palace was commissioned by Henry VIII. It became the official London residence of the monarch in 1698, but lost that status after being damaged by fire in 1809. Today the palace remains the formal base of the Royal Court and is the residence of the Princess Royal and Princess Alexandra. A print from Hutchinsons Britain Beautiful, edited by Walter Hutchinson, volume III, 1924-1926

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of St James's Palace in London during the 1920s. The Gatehouse of St James's Palace, commissioned by Henry VIII himself, stands proudly on the Mall just north of St James's Park. This historic palace became the official residence of British monarchs in 1698 until it was damaged by fire in 1809. Although no longer serving as a royal residence, St James's Palace remains an important symbol of British heritage and continues to be the formal base for the Royal Court. Today, it is home to esteemed members of the royal family such as Princess Anne (the Princess Royal) and Princess Alexandra. The photograph captures not only the architectural beauty but also showcases a glimpse into early 20th-century London life. The image reveals a stunning Tudor-style building with its iconic clock tower standing tall against a backdrop of bustling streets and lanes. Preserved through time, this monochrome print from Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful offers us an extraordinary window into history. It allows us to appreciate both the majesty of this sixteenth-century palace and its significance within Westminster City. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded that even centuries-old structures can continue to inspire awe and admiration in our modern world.
