EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'The New Houses of Parliament - the Peers' Porch, 1857,' showcases an essential architectural feature of the Palace of Westminster in Old Palace-yard. The Peers' Porch, located on the west front of the Palace and facing Poets' Corner, is a significant addition to the exterior appearance of this iconic building. The porch is adorned with a fan-groined ceiling, an intricate architectural detail that adds to the Gothic Revival style of the building. The bold centre boss is a striking focal point, adding depth and dimension to the porch's design. This porch served as the entrance for the Peers, making it a vital component of the Palace's political and historical significance. The photograph is a wood engraving from the 'Illustrated London News,' published in 1857. The image captures the essence of the Victorian Gothic architectural movement, which was spearheaded by architects such as Sir Charles Barry and Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. The use of black and white in the print adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to the 19th century when this architectural masterpiece was under construction. The intricately engraved details of the porch are evident in this close-up view, giving us a glimpse into the interior decoration and design of the building. The porch's doors, with their ornate details, add to the overall grandeur of the Palace of Westminster. This photograph print is a testament to the beauty and significance of this iconic building, which continues to be a symbol of British political history and architectural innovation.
