On this day in 1759, esteemed English architect John Nash was born (d. 1835). 🏛🌳 This terrific south-oriented map of St. James's Park by Hansard published in 1827 illustrates the proposed design by Nash commissioned by the Prince Regent (later King George IV) 👑 . Zoom into the finely engraved details of the park and Buckingham Palace on our website and search for "LDN6258" and swipe for some sneak peaks. .
