EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken in 1856, captures the Residence of the Earl of Clarendon at Paris. At the time, the Earl of Clarendon, George William Frederick Villiers, served as the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The image shows the grand exterior of the Hotel du Louvre, where the Earl resided during his visits to Paris. The courtyard of the building is filled with a horse-drawn carriage, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the city. It is noted in the accompanying text from the Illustrated London News that Lord Clarendon was expected to return to Britain soon, but his return was merely a rumor at the time this photograph was taken. The Hotel Cowper, which had been prepared for him, is mentioned in the text, but it appears that the Earl opted to stay at the Hotel du Louvre instead. The Residence of the Earl of Clarendon is an excellent example of 19th-century architecture, with its grand facade and impressive entranceway. The building's history is intertwined with that of British politics, as it served as the official residence of the British Foreign Secretary during this period. Today, the Residence continues to be an important symbol of British diplomacy in Paris, and a reminder of the rich history of Anglo-French relations.
