Summary "Kensington Palace: the Birthplace of the Queen" by Ernest Law is a historical guide written in the late 19th century. This work serves as both a descriptive and historical account of Kensington Palace, focusing on its state rooms, gardens, and the artistic heritage associated with it, particularly its significance as the birthplace of Queen Victoria. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of Kensington Palace's rich history, especially its architectural evolution and the notable events that took place within its walls. Law introduces the reader to the palace's origins, starting with its establishment by William and Mary and continuing through the reigns of Queen Anne and George II, ultimately leading to the birth of Queen Victoria. The text emphasizes the intention behind the guide: not just to celebrate the palace as an art gallery but as a historical site imbued with royal significance, transforming into a public attraction that serves to educate and inspire visitors.
