The Thames Embankment and Somerset House, London, c1915. First built for Lord Protector Somerset in 1547-1550, Somerset House was the first Renaissance palace in England. It was substantially rebuilt to designs by Sir William Chambers in the late 18th century, at which time the Thames flowed up to the palace's frontage.
