EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the grandeur of the Old Houses of Lords and Commons in the Palace of Westminster, London. The photo was taken before the devastating fire that occurred in 1834, forever altering this historic landmark. Published in 1847 as part of "Old England: A Pictorial Museum" this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The scene depicted is bustling with activity, showcasing the vibrant city life of 19th century London. Carriages fill the streets while pedestrians go about their daily routines. The fine art illustration showcases both men and women from different age groups engaging in various activities - walking, riding horses, or simply enjoying their surroundings. The architectural facade of these government buildings exudes an air of authority and importance. These structures served as symbols of power and governance for centuries until they were tragically destroyed by fire. Despite its historical significance, this image also serves as a reminder that even monumental landmarks are not immune to destruction. It stands as a testament to resilience and rebirth, highlighting how cities like London have evolved over time. Ken Welsh's skillful pen-and-ink pencil drawing brings depth and detail to this piece, capturing every intricate element with precision. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable print, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and majesty that once graced these now-burnt walls.
