New Government Buildings, Parliament Street.

New Government Buildings, Parliament Street.

Drawn by John O'Conner. Engraved by H. Adlard.
[n.d., c.1865.]
Steel engraving on india. 255 x 440mm (10 x 17¼"), with very large margins.
The Whitehall facade of what is now the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, designed by George Gilbert Scott, begun in 1861, finished 1868. Originally the building housed four separate government departments: the Foreign Office, the India Office, the Colonial Office, and the Home Office. Above the image is the crest of the Stationers' Company. The view was originally published as the Stationers' Almanack 1852, but this example appears to be from a later compilation.
