Légende

Committee-room, House of Commons, 1857. Interior of the Palace of Westminster, London. 'It would be difficult to point to any edifice, ancient or modern, in which the style and character of the architecture are more completely carried out than in the new Houses of Parliament. Every apartment and means of communication throughout the vast edifice has its characteristics of the Tudor palatial style, which Sir Charles Barry has adopted...[Depicted] is one of the south end Committee-rooms in the river front of the Palace: it has a beautiful window, and a ceiling divided into compartments by deep mouldings, and somewhat Holbeinesque in character. The scene shows the form in which a Committee sits'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
