EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated circa 1710, transports us back in time to the heart of London's historic St. James's area. The print showcases Pall Mall and the Royal Palace of St. James, situated next to the tranquil expanse of St. James's Park. Pall Mall, a prestigious street named after the Italian game of pall-mall, is seen in its early stages of development. The elegant tree-lined avenue, which was originally a private driveway for the Duke of York, is adorned with grand houses, some of which still stand today. The street's reputation as a fashionable residential and social hub was already well-established by the early 18th century. In the background, the magnificent Royal Palace of St. James, the oldest royal palace in London, dominates the scene. The palace, which has been the official residence of English and British monarchs since 1536, is a symbol of the monarchy's rich history and grandeur. The palace's impressive architecture, with its red brick façade and grand chimneys, is a testament to the opulence and power of the monarchy during this period. St. James's Park, the smallest of the London's Royal Parks, is nestled between the palace and Pall Mall. The park, which was originally a royal hunting ground, is a popular destination for Londoners and visitors alike, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. The lake, which is visible in the print, is home to numerous waterfowl and is a favorite spot for boating and picnicking. This print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of 18th-century London, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Pall Mall, the Royal Palace of St. James, and St. James's Park.
