The Guard-Room, St James's Palace, 1844. Visitors in one of London's royal palaces: 'the Armoury, or Guard-Room, forming the entrance to the suite of state rooms from the grand staircase, the arms and trophies which decorate the walls have been entirely cleansed and polished. Other improvements have taken place, adding considerably to the general appearance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
