EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse of Buckingham House, London: A Scene from the Early 18th Century" This image, discovered in 1990, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a detailed view of Buckingham House in London during the early 18th century. The building, which would later take its name from the Dukedom of John Sheffield, Marquess of Normandy in 1723, can be seen in its entirety from Green Park. The serene setting is further enhanced by the presence of a coach, a rider, and pedestrians passing along what is now known as Constitution Hill. Buckingham House, originally known as the "Palace of the Boltons," was built between 1702 and 1705 under the supervision of the architect John Sheffield. The elegant structure, with its classical facade and symmetrical design, stands proudly against the backdrop of Westminster Abbey, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The painting, created by the Dutch artist Adriaen van Diest (not to be confused with the printing company), captures the essence of the bustling city life during this period. The coach, drawn by a team of horses, makes its way along the cobblestone road, while pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the time, stroll leisurely along the path. The tranquil Green Park, with its lush greenery, offers a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. This exquisite artwork, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that has long since passed. The painting is a testament to the rich architectural and cultural heritage of London during the early 18th century.
