A graphic reconstruction of the rear of Buckingham House and its gardens. The key features are the canal in line with the center of the house, the highlight of the garden, and the formal gardens to either side on the parterre. The canal was designed to give people in the middle of the main body of the building in the best rooms the perfect view.
