EDITORS COMMENTS
The Saloon, about 1820. From Nash's Illustrations, (1939). This print captures the grandeur of The Saloon in the Royal Pavilion, Brighton. Dating back to 1787, this former royal residence served as a seaside retreat for the Prince Regent, who later became King George IV. Architect John Nash played a pivotal role in transforming the original house into an architectural marvel. In his expansion efforts starting from 1815, he incorporated exotic domes and minarets inspired by Indo-Saracenic style. This fusion of Eastern and Western influences is evident in every intricate detail of The Saloon. The image showcases the opulent interior decoration and design that adorned this stately home during its heyday. Chinoiserie elements are prominently featured throughout the room, reflecting China's influence on British aesthetics at that time. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into history itself. It transports us to an era where elegance reigned supreme and royalty reveled amidst lavish surroundings. Henry D. Roberts' book 'A History of the Royal Pavilion' provides further insight into this remarkable palace's heritage. Published by Country Life Limited in London during 1939, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with architectural wonders from centuries past. Let us cherish this glimpse into The Saloon's splendorous past - a testament to both human creativity and cultural exchange.
