St James Palace. Creator: Thomas Shotter Boys
North Front of St. Jamess Palace from Cleveland Row. St Jamess Palace is the most senior royal palace in the United Kingdom. Built by King Henry VIII on the site of a leper hospital dedicated to Saint James the Less, the palace was secondary in importance to the Palace of Whitehall for most Tudor and Stuart monarchs. The palace increased in importance during the reigns of the early Georgian monarchy, but was displaced by Buckingham Palace in the late-18th and early-19th centuries

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic St James Palace, a symbol of royal heritage in the United Kingdom. Created by Thomas Shotter Boys, it beautifully captures the North Front of the palace as seen from Cleveland Row. Steeped in history, this architectural marvel was originally built by King Henry VIII on the grounds of a leper hospital dedicated to Saint James the Less. Throughout its existence, St James Palace held varying degrees of importance for different monarchs. During the Tudor and Stuart eras, it played second fiddle to Whitehall Palace. However, with the advent of Georgian monarchy, its significance grew steadily until Buckingham Palace took over as primary residence during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The print transports us back in time to witness London's bustling streets surrounding this regal landmark. With an avenue leading up to its grand entrance and people going about their day in colorful attire, it offers a glimpse into life during both the 16th and 19th centuries. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Thomas Shotter Boys under clear daylight skies, we cannot help but appreciate how St James Palace stands tall amidst changing times. Its enduring presence serves as a testament to Britain's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of our connection to past generations who walked these very streets in awe of such architectural wonders.
