Her Majesty's Apartment at Holyrood, 1850. Interior of the royal Palace of Holyrood, Edinburgh, Scotland. 'The sitting-room newly fitted for Queen Victoria, is a very handsome apartment, the ceiling being particularly fine. The wainscoted with dark oak, which, having very recently been cleansed from the obnoxious paint of the last century, imparts a rich appearance to the room. The ceiling is deeply coffered and paneled, and the coffering excessively enriched with pendant festoons of flowers, modelled with wonderful spirit; the ceiling within being painted a negative greenish tint
