Description: 
Interior view towards the billiard room from the music room at 19 Hyde Park Terrace, London. The music room and billiard room are partitioned by an arcade of decorative arches supported by Ionic columns. In the foreground is an elaborate upright piano or similar instrument. Towards the back of the print can be seen a large billiard table with six lights hanging above it. A staircase is visible in the background. The walls are partially panelled and there is a good deal of Victorian furniture on display. 19 Hyde Park Terrace was home to Thomas Threfall who commissioned this photograph. The Bedford Lemere daybook records William Flockhart as the architect. Hyde Park Terrace or Hyde Park Gardens as it is sometimes known, consists of two roads running adjacent to the north western corner of Hyde Park, London. They houses are amongst the most exclusive properties on the northern side of Hyde Park and date from the early 19th century. There are some very small flaws in the print itself, likely sustained in the printing process rather than a flaw to the original plate or negative.
