Descriptive Note Text

The Pavilion of the Royal Navy was devoted to the history of marine warfare, and was formed by galleries adapted from a pre-existing construction. The Pavilion included exhibits of model warships, nautical equipment and weaponry, and of all the various things that are found on board a ship from provisions to medications. The most admired object displayed was a huge cannon weighing 56 tons. In this black-and-white postcard, we see the Pavilion's facade and main entrance, with ample windows as was typical of the Turinese baroque style.
