Légende

The Peers-Front, New Palace of Westminster, [London], 1856. 'This portion of the new Palace of Westminster is situated on the western side, between the Victoria Tower and the southern end of Westminster Hall, and connects the two buildings admirably. It is an elegant addition, nearly, if not quite, three hundred and forty feet long...Our View of the front shows a good portion of the grand Central Tower rearing its elegant form high in the air, from the ground to top upwards of 275 feet. The amount of finish given to the appearance of the exterior of the building by the completion of this front is almost astonishing...yet there is much to be done to complete this structure, thus far so successfully carried out by its architect, Sir C. Barry'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
