This is the First Edition of a historical and highly descriptive account of Marlborough House in London, published in 1896.

The work, authored by Arthur H. Beavan, provides a detailed history of the palace from its original construction for the Duke of Marlborough up through its role as the primary London residence of the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). The content offers an insider's view of the royal household, detailing the interior rooms, domestic arrangements, notable social events (balls and dinners), and personal characteristics of the royal couple.

The book is a significant historical resource, featuring drawings by Holland Tringham, R.B.A., and photographic views secured with the special permission of the Prince of Wales, which attests to the book's accuracy and importance as a record of late-Victorian court life.
