EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 20th century, capturing the grandeur of Horse Guards Parade in London. Steeped in history, this iconic parade ground was once a medieval tilt-yard where thrilling jousts took place. In fact, it witnessed an unforgettable tournament orchestrated by none other than King Henry VIII himself in 1540. The magnificent Horse Guards building, designed by the talented William Kent and constructed during the 18th century, stands proudly at one end of the parade ground. Its elegant architecture adds a touch of regality to this already impressive location. It's no wonder that every year on the Queen's Official Birthday, Horse Guards Parade becomes alive with pomp and pageantry during the celebrated Trooping of the Colour ceremony. This postcard from The Souvenir Album offers a glimpse into London's rich heritage and its close connection to royalty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a bustling street scene outside Horse Guards Parade. The buildings lining Whitehall Road create a picturesque backdrop for this historic site. With its vibrant colors and exquisite details captured by an unknown creator but attributed to William Kent himself, this print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a testament to Britain's architectural prowess and cultural significance throughout centuries past.
