(2) Two Antique Sepia-Tone Postcards, circa 1910. Identified as the entrance gateway to Hampton Court Palace, and the other claims to reveal poor Queen Catherine, 'captured' on film in the Horn Room at the palace. Published by Morland Studio, England. Divided back, unused. Condition: These are original antique postcards, not a copy or reproduction. They are in excellent condition. Comments: The best-selling postcards at Hampton Court in the early 1900s were of spectres in historic spaces, and these faked up double exposed photographs offered spine-tingling proof. Stories persist today that at least two of Henry VIIIs wives haunt Hampton Court Palace: his beloved third wife Jane Seymour who died after giving birth in 1537 and most famously, his fifth wife Catherine Howard, executed for adultery in 1542. Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, 12 miles southwest and upstream of central London on the River Thames. Opened to the public, the palace is managed by Historic Royal Palaces, a charity set up to preserve several unoccupied royal properties. The building of the palace began in 1514 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the chief minister of Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the king to check his disgrace. The palace went on to become one of Henry's most favoured residences; soon after acquiring the property, he arranged for it to be enlarged so it could accommodate his sizeable retinue of courtiers.
