Kensington Palace and Queen Victoria's Statue, London, 20th Century.
Kensington Palace and Queen Victoria's Statue, London, 20th Century. Originally built in the 17th century as the residence of the Earl of Nottingham, Kensington Palace was acquired by King William III in 1689. The King desired a residence close to London but away from its smoky air which aggravated his asthma. At the time Kensington was a village outside the capital and fitted the bill perfectly. The palace was improved and extended by Sir Christopher Wren and a carriage road was built connecting it with Hyde Park Corner. Today Kensington Palace is the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. Postcard from The Souvenir Album, Views of London And The River Thames, From London To Oxford, (London, 20th Century).
