EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Kensington Palace's Sussex Library. The artist, Henry Melville, skillfully captures the grandeur of this unusual building in London, England. In the center of the image sits the Duke of Sussex himself, engrossed in his reading while comfortably seated on a specially designed library chair. Surrounding him are shelves upon shelves filled with books that reflect his refined taste and intellectual pursuits. The interior exudes an air of sophistication and elegance typical of Victorian-era palaces. A tray rests on a nearby table, suggesting that this is not only a place for leisurely reading but also for important work or correspondence. A majestic fireplace adds warmth to the room while ornate furniture completes the regal atmosphere. One cannot help but notice another figure standing beside the Duke - perhaps a servant attending to his needs or assisting him with his studies. This detail reminds us that even royalty required assistance in their daily lives. As we admire this engraving from Joseph Mead's collection "London Interiors with their Costumes & Ceremonies" we are transported back in time to witness Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, immersed in knowledge within one of Kensington Palace's splendid rooms.
