The Room in which Sir Robert Peel died, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Room in which Sir Robert Peel died, 1850. View of...the apartment in the mansion at Whitehall-gardens wherein [British prime minister] Sir Robert Peel breathed his last. It will be recollected that upon the lamented Baronet being conveyed to the mansion, immediately after the accident [in which he fell from his horse], he was placed upon a sofa in the nearest apartment (the dining-room). From this apartment Sir Robert was never removed; for so extremely sensitive to pain did he speedily become, that it was only after very considerable difficulty that he could be lifted from the sofa to a hydraulic bed. The mansion is the centre house in the Privy Garden, behind Whitehall. In the apartment...hangs the celebrated picture of John Knox preaching, painted by Wilkie'. Peel owned a house at No. 4 Whitehall Gardens in London. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the room in which Sir Robert Peel, the twice British Prime Minister, took his last breath in 1850. The apartment is situated in the mansion at Whitehall-gardens, with the Privy Garden's centre house serving as its backdrop. Upon being conveyed to the mansion following a horse-riding accident, Peel was placed on a sofa in the nearest apartment, which was the dining room. Due to his extreme sensitivity to pain, he could not be moved from this spot, and it took considerable effort to lift him onto a hydraulic bed. The dining room is adorned with a celebrated painting of John Knox preaching, executed by Sir David Wilkie. Peel was the owner of a house at No. 4 Whitehall Gardens in London. This engraving, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the interior of the room where the esteemed statesman spent his final moments. The panelled walls and wooden furniture add to the sense of intimacy and underline the historical significance of the scene. The print, from the collection of The Print Collector, serves as a poignant reminder of the life and times of Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet.
