About the Item

Description: Antique print titled 'East Front of the Horse Guards at Whitehall'. Architectural elevation of the Horse Guards at Whitehall. This print originates from 'Vitruvius Britannicus' by Colen Campbell. This print originates from 'Vitruvius Britannicus' by Colen Campbell. Horse Guards is a historic building in the City of Westminster, London, between Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade. It was built in the mid-18th century, replacing an earlier building, as a barracks and stables for the Household Cavalry, later becoming an important military headquarters. Horse Guards functions as a gatehouse giving access between Whitehall and St James's Park via gates on the ground floor. It originally formed the entrance to the Palace of Whitehall and later St James's Palace; for that reason it is still ceremonially defended by the Queen's Life Guard. Although still in military use, part of the building houses the Household Cavalry Museum which is open to the public. Artists and Engravers: Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus is considered one of the greatest eighteenth-century English architectural works. Campbell published the first three volumes between 1715 and 1725, but the text was continued in two subsequent volumes by Woolfe and Gandon in 1767 and 1771. The work is comprised of large, finely engraved illustrations, plans, and cross sections of English country houses and parks. Condition: Good, age-related toning. Split on folding line. Blank verso. Minor wear, please study image carefully.
