A limited edition print of Edward Bawden's Palace of Westminster (1966).
The original colour linocut was one in the series 'Nine London Monuments' commissioned by Editions Alecto in 1966. The Palace of Westminster (the dramatic building consisting of the two Houses of Parliament) was designed by Sir Charles Barry (1795-1860) and Augustus Welby Pugin (1812-52). Bawden perfectly captures the magnificence of the fa‡ade, and a lamp, perhaps symbolic of illumined debate, is centrally positioned within the print.
