EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features two intricately detailed Baxter portrait prints, showcasing the remarkable lives of two influential historical figures: Edmund Burke and the Iron Duke, Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington. On the left, a young Edmund Burke is depicted as a boy, with a thoughtful expression and a serious demeanor. Burke, born in 1729 in Ireland, later became a British statesman, economist, and philosopher, serving in the House of Commons in Great Britain between 1766 and 1794 with the Whig party. His profound ideas and eloquent speeches left an indelible mark on political thought, particularly in the areas of individual rights and the importance of the state in shaping society. On the right, the formidable figure of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, emerges from the frame. Known as the Iron Duke, Wellesley was born in 1769 in Wales. He rose to prominence as a military commander, serving twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and playing a pivotal role in ending the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. The Battle of Waterloo, fought in 1815, marked a significant turning point in history, and the Iron Duke's leadership and strategic prowess were instrumental in securing a decisive victory. These stunning portrait prints, originally painted by George Baxter and later reproduced by Joshua Reynolds (not to be confused with the famous painter of the same name), offer a captivating glimpse into the lives of these two extraordinary men. Circa 1854, these prints serve as a testament to the enduring impact of their legacies on British and world history.
