EDITORS COMMENTS
Eltham Palace: A Glimpse into the Past before Demolitions (c. 1653, K990276) Eltham Palace, located in Greenwich, London, has a rich and intriguing history that spans over eight centuries. This image, believed to be an engraving by Peter Stent, offers a rare glimpse into the palace's appearance just before the major demolitions that took place in the 1650s. The photograph portrays Eltham Palace in its grandeur, with the queens apartments situated to the left and the kings apartments to the right. The queens apartments, adorned with intricate designs and ornate features, reflect the elegance and sophistication of the Tudor era. The kings apartments, on the other hand, exhibit a more robust and imposing presence, symbolizing the power and authority of the monarch. Eltham Palace, originally built in the late 13th century, had undergone several transformations throughout history. It served as a favored residence for various monarchs, including Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. However, by the 17th century, the palace had fallen into disrepair and was in dire need of restoration. The demolitions in the 1650s marked the end of an era for Eltham Palace. The once magnificent structure was reduced to ruins, leaving only fragments of its former glory. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the palace's rich history and the architectural marvels that once stood within its walls. Today, Eltham Palace is under the care of Historic England, which has undertaken extensive conservation efforts to preserve the remaining parts of the palace and bring its history to life for future generations. This photograph, with its intriguing details and historical significance, offers a unique perspective into the past and the story of Eltham Palace.
