EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Brick Gate House for a Royal Hunting Lodge in St. James's, dating back to approximately 1935. The creator, Donald McLeish, skillfully portrays the architectural beauty of this historic gatehouse located in St. James's Palace on Pall Mall, London. Originally commissioned by King Henry VIII and completed between 1531 and 1536, this red-brick structure served as the official residence of British monarchs until it suffered fire damage in 1809. Despite losing its status as a royal abode, it remains an important landmark and continues to house members of the royal family. The image showcases the impressive facade with its intricate details and Tudor-style architecture. A sentry stands guard at the entrance, symbolizing both tradition and security. The clock tower adds a touch of elegance to this timeless scene. Arthur St John Adcock edited this photograph for publication in "Wonderful London". Volume 2 - a testament to his appreciation for capturing iconic landmarks across Britain during that era. This print not only serves as a visual reminder of historical significance but also highlights the enduring charm that defines London's cityscape. It is an exquisite piece that transports viewers back to a bygone era where royalty reigned supreme amidst stunning architectural marvels like St. James's Palace.
