EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the intricate beauty of the Tulip Staircase in the Queens House, located in Romney Road, Greenwich, London. Dating back to the late 17th century, this historic building was commissioned by King Charles II for his wife, Henrietta Maria, as a gift to mark the birth of their son, the future King James II. The Tulip Staircase, a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture, is a marvel of engineering and design. Its unique helix shape, featuring alternating treads and landings, was a revolutionary concept at the time. The staircase is adorned with intricate carvings and ornate balustrades, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Eric de Mare between 1945 and 1980, offers a captivating oblique view of the staircase. The use of natural light, combined with the subtle tonal variations, highlights the intricate details of the staircase, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty in a new light. The Queens House, with its rich history and architectural significance, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, art, or architecture. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of this historic building and the Tulip Staircase, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
