EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Raising the Wellington statue, Hyde Park Corner, London" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the monumental task of erecting the iconic Wellington statue in Hyde Park during the 19th century. The scene is bustling with activity as a crowd gathers around the construction site. Workmen can be seen meticulously maneuvering ropes and pulleys to lift the colossal statue into place. Their determination and skill are evident as they carefully navigate this daunting feat of engineering. The architecture surrounding them adds an air of grandeur to the scene. The buildings stand tall, providing a striking backdrop for this historic event. The clothing worn by both onlookers and workers offers a glimpse into fashion trends of that era. This print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on October 3rd, 1846, capturing public interest at that time. It now resides within a private collection but continues to serve as an important visual record of London's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how dedication and teamwork brought forth one of London's most beloved landmarks – forever immortalizing Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington's legacy in stone.
