EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the grandeur of Hampton Court Palace in London, circa 1893. The focal point of this image is the majestic Great Hall, a testament to the architectural brilliance of Cardinal Wolsey and later enhanced by King Henry VIII himself. Constructed in 1514, this medieval masterpiece stands as one of England's last great halls from that era. Its hammerbeam roof stretches above, showcasing intricate details that mesmerize any onlooker. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the weight of history within these walls. Hampton Court Palace holds a significant place in British history. Once belonging to Cardinal Wolsey until his fall from favor in 1529, it then passed into the hands of King Henry VIII. This iconic monarch left his mark on the palace through extensive alterations and additions. The Great Hall witnessed countless royal gatherings throughout its existence until George II became its final resident monarch. Today, it remains an enduring symbol of Tudor architecture and regal opulence. This illustration comes from "A Short History of the English People" by John Richard Green (illustrated edition), published in 1893. It serves as a visual reminder not only of Hampton Court Palace's magnificence but also captures a moment frozen in time – an exquisite blend between sixteenth-century heritage and nineteenth-century documentation.
