Caption

Lord Palmerston's study at Broadlands, 1865. Interior of the home of British politician Henry Temple, 2nd Viscount Palmerston, at Romsey in Hampshire. '"My Lord's Study," as it is called by the servants at Broadlands,...though small and nowise sumptuous, is of much greater importance to us than all the rest of the place; for it contains a few things appropriated to his peculiar use, and bears the traces of his frequent occupation. It was here that he passed many hours alone, entering "his study" immediately after breakfast, and staying, perhaps, till three or four o'clock, when the favourite horse was saddled, and the brisk old gentleman, hale and hearty as ever, casting off all the burden of the British empire, all the weight of the European balance of powers, mounted for his daily ride - which he seldom omitted, whether along the miry roads of Hampshire or the noiseless galloping-ground in Rotten-row'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
