EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Duke of Wellington Lying in State at Walmer" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the solemn passing of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, as he lies in state at Walmer Castle. The scene is filled with profound emotions as visitors from all walks of life gather to pay their respects to the esteemed military leader. A sense of reverence permeates the air as people line up along the entrance street leading to Deal Castle, where this poignant event unfolds. Intriguingly captured by an English School artist during the 19th century, this print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on November 20th, 1852. It serves as a powerful testament to both the duke's legacy and his impact on British society. As we delve into this historical snapshot further, our eyes are drawn towards a somber hearse carrying the remains of the late duke through Walmer's streets. The surrounding beach and majestic Walmer Castle provide a picturesque backdrop that contrasts with the gravity of this mournful occasion. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece within its private collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate. Through its intricate details and evocative composition, it allows us to reflect upon one man's extraordinary life while immersing ourselves in an era long gone but not forgotten.
