EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Duke of Wellington statue and the iconic Wellington Arch in all their grandeur. Standing tall and proud, the bronze equestrian statue designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm in 1888 pays homage to one of Britain's greatest military heroes, Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington. The commanding presence of this classical masterpiece is further enhanced by its backdrop - the awe-inspiring Wellington Arch. Designed by Decimus Burton and completed in 1830, this triumphal arch stands as a testament to Georgian architecture at its finest. The arch's towering columns exude an air of regality while seamlessly blending with its Victorian surroundings. Its intricate detailing showcases exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. In this remarkable composition captured by James Davies, we are transported back to a time when history was being made on these very streets. The juxtaposition between past and present is palpable; it serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, echoes from our rich heritage continue to resonate. This print not only immortalizes two architectural marvels but also invites us to reflect upon their significance within British history. It encapsulates both strength and elegance, reminding us why these landmarks remain cherished symbols of national pride.
