Originally designed by Newbury Trent and erected in Brighton, Sussex, England, in 1912, this statue is a replica of the original Angel of Peace created between 1792 and 1822. The Angel of Peace is a striking figure, with outstretched wings and a serene expression, holding an orb in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The orb represents the world, while the olive branch symbolizes peace and unity. This powerful image has captured the hearts and imaginations of generations, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of peace and the hope for a harmonious world. The history of the Angel of Peace statue is rich and intriguing. While the exact date of the original statue's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been inspired by the peace treaties that ended the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. The statue was originally placed on the roof of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, where it remained until it was moved to its current location in the Peace Gardens in 1830. Newbury Trent, the designer of the replica statue, was a prominent English sculptor and architect of the Victorian era. His works can be found throughout England, including the Royal Albert Hall and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The replica statue in this print is a testament to Trent's skill and vision, as well as his commitment to preserving the legacy of the original Angel of Peace. This composite print is a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the rich history and enduring symbolism of the Angel of Peace statue.
