Buckingham House in Westminster, London, built in 1703 as a townhouse for the Duke of Buckingham. It was acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte. During the 19th century considerable alterations and enlargements were made to the residence by George IV, and in 1837 it became the official royal residence of Queen Victoria, now known as Buckingham Palace. Early view of the residence, engraved by Sutton Nicholls. While the plate is best-known for its appearance in the famous 1754 volume of Stowe's Survey of London, it had been sold individually by the publisher John Bowles since 1728.

Mirza Abdul Wahab del.t. Standidge & Co lith.
London: J.W. Parker, c.1845.]
Lithograph. Sheet 220 x 135mm (8¾ x 5¼").
A kneeling Bukharan, the keeper of the Daster Khan (Persian for a caravanserai), a plate from Rev. Joseph Wolff's ''Narrative of a mission to Bokhara, in the years 1843-1845, to ascertain the fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly''. Wolff (1795-1862) was a German Jew who joined the Church of England, becoming a missionary. He went to Bukhara to find out what had happened to two British army officers, who had disappeared playing 'The Great Game' in Central Asia. He discovered they had been executed as spies and nearly met the same fate, only escaping because the Emir found Wolff's canonical robes so ridiculous. Wolff's opinion of Khanjee was low: in the précis to Chapter XIII is ''The Dastar Khanjee a Disgrace to Manhood''.
