From Palace to Power: an IIlustrated history of Whitehall is the
400-year story -- in contemporary pictures, maps and photographs,
as well as letters and diaries -- of the historical transformation
of The Street' recognised throughout the world as a symbol of
Government. The illustrations have been gathered from diverse
sources: some hang as oil paintings in the corridors of power,
known only to the privileged who occupy these offices. Others have
been gleaned from contemporary journals, old sepia prints and
postcards from the early days of the camera. Extended captions to
the 120 illustrations, the 8-page coloured plate section, map
endpapers -- as well as a select bibliography, chronology, list of
statues in Whitehall, and index -- make this book easy to read and
follow for the historian and the browser. In this new work, which
has taken five years to research, Susan Foreman has created a vivid
image of how the most pre-eminent street in Britain has changed,
and how the political fortunes of its dramatis personae have left
their mark.
