The Throne and Canopy at St. James Palace
Sir Benjamin Stone, 1900
The Victoria & Albert Museum

Taken in 1900 by Sir Benjamin Stone, this photograph shows the breathtaking view of the Royal Throne and Canopy at St. James’ Palace as it looked at the end of Queen Victoria’s reign.


The throne, perched high upon its dais, is crisply seen in contrast to the regal drapery behind it. Stone has written the title of the photo and the date on the print.
