EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the Palace of Whitehall. Created by artist William Patten, this exquisite piece takes us back to the 17th century when the palace stood as a symbol of power and opulence in London. The image depicts Inigo Jones's proposed design for the palace, which was unfortunately destroyed by fire in 1698, leaving only the Banqueting House intact. The immense size of Whitehall Palace at its prime is evident from this print, reminding us that it was once Europe's largest palace. Situated on the banks of River Thames in Westminster, this riverside location added to the magnificence and charm of Whitehall. The monochrome palette enhances every intricate detail captured by Patten, allowing viewers to appreciate both the architectural elements and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where royalty resided within these walls. It serves as a testament to Sir Walter Besant's book "Westminster" published in 1897, which aimed to preserve London's rich heritage through detailed descriptions and illustrations. This remarkable artwork curated by The Print Collector encapsulates not just a building or a city but also an entire epoch marked by elegance and regality.
