11 (bottom left) Buckingham Palace from St. James's Park. T.S. Boys del et lith. 250 x 4S0mm. Family groups on the gravel walk are feeding the ducks and geese emerging from the water of the lake which is being cleared of its refuse by two men in a punt. The light of a hazy autumn afternoon bathes the S. wall of the Palace which, four years before its alteration by Blore, is still as Nash left it in 1836 with the Marble Arch, which was to be re-erected at the north end of Park Lane in 1851, still in position as an entrance gateway.
