EDITORS COMMENTS
Constitution Hill, London, 1850: A Glimpse into the Past This print, hailing from the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Constitution Hill in London during the 19th century. The image showcases the iconic equestrian statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), located at Hyde Park Corner. The statue, created by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, was an enduring tribute to the celebrated military leader and statesman. The Duke of Wellington, also known as 'The Iron Duke' and 'The Duke of Waterloo,' played a pivotal role in the British military during the Napoleonic Wars. His victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 is considered one of the most significant in British history. After his triumph, the people of London welcomed him back with open arms, leading to the commissioning of the equestrian statue. The statue stood proudly on Constitution Hill, overlooking Hyde Park, for several decades. However, it was later replaced by Decimus Burton's Wellington Arch in 1851. The original statue was moved to the grounds of Apsley House, the Duke of Wellington's London residence. This print provides a unique insight into the architectural and artistic landscape of Victorian London. It also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duke of Wellington, a man whose influence on British history continues to be felt to this day. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, offers a valuable record of this important historical moment, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
