EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the remarkable Lucas Collection K920010, housed at Walmer Castle in Kent. The collection, curated by Wing-Commander Thomas Hill Lucas (1895-1975), is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of the esteemed Iron Duke, Wellington. Within this frame, we are treated to a visual feast of historical artefacts that highlight the enduring popularity of Wellington throughout his lifetime. A bronze bust commands attention with its intricate details and lifelike representation, while an ivory bust exudes elegance and refinement. Adding further depth to this extraordinary collection is a Wedgwood ceramic plaque adorned with delicate craftsmanship. Its vibrant colors and meticulous design pay homage to Wellington's significant contributions. Completing this ensemble is a Steven Green Lambeth Ware jug, showcasing exquisite artistry in its creation. This unique piece adds a touch of whimsy while still honoring the distinguished figure it represents. Photographer Paul Highnam skillfully captures these treasures within their museum setting, allowing viewers to appreciate both their individual beauty and collective significance. Through his lens, we can almost feel the weight of history surrounding these artefacts as they stand as testaments to Wellington's lasting impact on British society. Thanks to Historic England's dedication in preserving such invaluable collections like the Lucas Collection K920010, future generations will continue to be inspired by one of Britain's most revered figures - Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
