Library — 1833
Entrance, Palace Fulham
Fulham Palace was the summer residence of the Bishop of London and this archway looking towards a courtyard can still be seen. There is a fountain in the middle of the courtyard.
The watercolour was commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1833, William Howley. It is contained in an album of drawings by Henry William Burgess (active 1809-39), a landscape artist. He was appointed by several noblemen to draw their estates as he specialised in producing studies of trees before becoming the artist to King William IV.
