The Horse Guards, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment in time at the iconic Horse Guards Parade on Whitehall in London. In this print by Gustave Doré, we see a small crowd gathered to witness the daily routine of a guard stationed in the sentry box. The image is taken from "LONDON. A Pilgrimage" a book co-authored by Blanchard Jerrold. The scene exudes an air of historical significance as it transports us back to 19th century Britain. The city of Westminster forms the backdrop for this snapshot, with its grand architecture and ornate railings adding to the charm of the setting. Amongst those observing are children, their curiosity piqued by this display of military precision. Notably, one child stands out - using crutches as support - reminding us that disabilities were not uncommon even during that era. Doré's masterful engraving technique brings every detail to life; from the flickering lamp illuminating the scene to each individual's distinct facial expression. This artwork serves as both a visual feast and an insightful glimpse into London's past. As we gaze upon "The Horse Guards, 1872" we can almost hear the clatter of hooves and feel ourselves transported back in time when these horse guards played an integral role in safeguarding England's capital city.
