EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the solemn moment of the lying in state of F M The Duke of Wellington at Chelsea Hospital in November 1852. Published by Dickinson Brothers, this print showcases the historical significance and grandeur surrounding this event. The scene is set with a magnificent awning draped over the entrance to Chelsea Hospital, creating an atmosphere of reverence and respect. Candles flicker softly, casting a warm glow on the surroundings as they pay homage to one of Britain's greatest military leaders. Chelsea Pensioners stand in formation, their medals proudly displayed on their chests, honoring their fallen comrade-in-arms. The soldiers' stoic expressions reflect both grief and admiration for their esteemed leader. Amidst this somber gathering stands a group of Beefeaters, adding an air of regality to the scene. Their presence symbolizes tradition and loyalty to crown and country. Every detail in this engraving speaks volumes about the magnitude of loss felt by London and its people upon losing such an iconic figure. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great men must eventually succumb to time's embrace. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images transports us back to that historic day when England bid farewell to one of its national heroes – The Duke of Wellington – leaving behind an indelible legacy etched into history's annals forevermore.
