Carlton House: Explore the Historic Grandeur of King George IV's Palace | Royal Architecture & British History | Perfect for History Enthusiasts & London Tourists

This is the ultimate English folly built by a Prince for the King he ultimately became. He was one of the very few truly educated people in the royal line(s) and while a bit wild and crazy, his over-the-top architecture is here as we only can now see it - in drawings. But what an imagination!This building should not be not forgotten. Much of it was thoughtfully recycled. The pillars from the portico can now be seen adorning the frontage of the National Gallery.This book is a wonderful record of the fabric and artefacts.Covers the development and interiors of the building, now lost.Superb book; just what I needed for my research; delivered promptly.love
