EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the final carriage of the legendary Iron Duke, CC97_01636, as it stands proudly in front of St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London. This magnificent car was specifically designed for a momentous state occasion - to carry none other than the great Duke of Wellington to his eternal resting place in 1852. The image showcases the intricate details and grandeur of this historic carriage. Its ornate design reflects both its significance and importance, befitting a man who played a pivotal role in shaping European history during the Napoleonic era. The carriage exudes an air of regality and solemnity, evoking emotions that transport us back to a bygone era. Now residing at Stratfield Saye House in Berkshire, this remarkable piece has found its home amongst other treasures from British history. Preserved with utmost care, it serves as a testament to our nation's rich heritage. Photographed by York and Son between 1870-1900, their skilled lens captured every nuance and detail with precision. Their expertise shines through as they expertly frame this monumental artifact against the backdrop of St Paul's Cathedral. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded not only of the legacy left behind by one extraordinary individual but also how artistry can immortalize moments that would otherwise fade into obscurity.
