EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from Mr. Mark Lemon's "About London: Whitehall as it appeared before the fire of 1691," published in the Illustrated London News in 1862. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Whitehall, London, showcasing the architectural grandeur of the Palace of Whitehall and Banqueting House before they were devastated by fire. Located on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, Whitehall was once the heart of English political power. The Palace of Whitehall, a sprawling complex of buildings, was the principal residence of English monarchs from Henry VIII to William III. The Banqueting House, a surviving part of the palace, is a masterpiece of seventeenth-century English architecture, designed by Inigo Jones. The print captures the tranquility of the scene, with the River Thames reflecting the elegant facades of the buildings. The Palace of Whitehall, with its grand arches and intricate details, stands majestically in the background, while the Banqueting House, with its impressive Tudor façade, is prominently featured in the foreground. The print, created in the nineteenth century, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of London's historic architecture. It invites us to imagine the bustling court life that once took place within the walls of the Palace of Whitehall and the Banqueting House. The print, from the esteemed Illustrated London News, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or London-themed decor.
