Printed Text: TUCK'S POST CARD CARTE POSTALE. POSTKARTE. "OILETTE" Postcard 7828 "THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT." Raphael Tuck & Sons Art Publishers to their Majesties the King & Queen. By Appointment. The Houses of Parliament are a most imposing pile of buildings viewed from the river. On their site once stood the ancient Royal Palace of Edward the Confessor, which, however, was considerably altered and rebuilt by William Rufus and Kings Stephen and Henry VIII. Part of these buildings were destroyed during the Great Fire of 1666, and the "New Palace of Westminster" was erected by Sir Charles Barry at a cost of £3,000,000. Printed in England.
