The private palaces of London : past and present
A 1908 London book by E. Beresford Chancellor, published by K. Paul, Trench, Trübner, photographing the interiors of private aristocratic town houses for an architectural and historical readership. The pictures are sepia-toned halftone photographs of state rooms, with framed paintings, gilded plasterwork, chandeliers, coffered ceilings, and rows of arches, which a designer could use as references for period interior décor and grand Edwardian room layouts.
