EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, created by the talented artist Thomas Allom in 1845, transports us back to a bustling era in London's history. The image showcases "The Mall and Waterloo Place" in Westminster, with its grand architecture and vibrant atmosphere. In the foreground, we see an open space that was once suggested as the site for the Duke of Wellington's statue. This location holds great significance as it pays homage to one of Britain's most esteemed military leaders. As our gaze extends towards the background, we catch sight of the Duke of York's Column towering over the cityscape. The equestrian statue depicts Prince Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany, who served as a commander during various wars in the early 19th century. The scene is filled with life; people can be seen strolling along this iconic avenue while horse-drawn carriages pass through. Horses play a prominent role throughout this artwork, symbolizing power and strength associated with war and royalty. Allom masterfully captures both architectural details and human activity within this lithograph. It serves as a testament to his artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into London's rich history during this period. Displayed at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today, this print continues to evoke awe among viewers who appreciate artistry combined with historical significance.
