'''Buckingham Palace, engraved by Thomas Picken (fl.1838-d.1870), pub. 1852 by Lloyd Bros. & Co. by Edmund Walker''' is a 19th-century engraving that depicts the principal royal residence and administrative headquarters of the British monarch, Buckingham Palace. Created by the notable engraver Thomas Picken, who was active from 1838 until his death in 1870, this work is a representation of the palace as it stood in the mid-19th century, a period of significant expansion and renovation under the direction of Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert.

Published in 1852 by Lloyd Bros. & Co., the engraving was part of a broader cultural interest in documenting and disseminating images of significant national landmarks and architectural marvels during the Victorian era. The publisher, Lloyd Bros. & Co., was one of the many firms that capitalized on the growing middle-class appetite for art and illustration, fueled by advancements in printing technology and the proliferation of periodicals and illustrated books.

The artist responsible for the original drawing from which Picken's engraving was produced was Edmund Walker, an artist known for his detailed architectural renderings. Walker's meticulous attention to the architectural features of the palace would have provided a faithful representation for Picken to translate into an engraving, a popular medium of the time for reproducing images.

Thomas Picken's engraving of Buckingham Palace would have been consumed by a Victorian audience keen on the pomp and circumstance associated with the British monarchy, as well as by those with an interest in the architectural developments of the era. The engraving not only served as a piece of art but also as a historical document, capturing the palace at a specific moment in its evolution.

Today, the engraving stands as a valuable historical artifact, offering insight into the visual culture of Victorian Britain, the public's fascination with royal residences, and the technical skill of 19th-century engravers like Thomas Picken. It also provides a visual reference for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the architectural history of one of the most iconic buildings in the United Kingdom.
