WHITEHALL _gate_. The gate here represented and the house adjoining
have since the engraving this print been pulled down to render the
street more spacious and convenient. It belonged, as was observed in
the preceding article, to the old palace of Whitehall, and was built
by Henry VIII. from a design of Hans Holbein the celebrated painter.
Here were on each side four bustos in front with ornamented mouldings
round them of baked clay in proper colours, and glazed in the manner of
delf ware, which has preserved them intire to this time, whereas the
festoons of stone in the banquetting house, which was built much later,
are so corroded as to be scarce intelligible.
