EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Wellington Arch with its iconic Duke of Wellington statue, a true testament to London's rich history. Standing proudly at Hyde Park Corner, this architectural masterpiece was skillfully crafted by Decimus Burton in 1828. The awe-inspiring statue itself, created by Matthew Cotes Wyatt between 1840 and 1843, weighs an astonishing 40 tons. The image captures the grandeur of the arch and its classical design elements, evoking a sense of timeless elegance. The towering structure stands as a symbol of victory and honor, commemorating the Duke of Wellington's triumph at Waterloo. Interestingly, both the arch and statue underwent significant relocations over time. In 1882, when the arch was moved to Constitution Hill and renamed Constitution Arch, the colossal statue found its new home in Aldershot. This historical snapshot allows us to appreciate these landmarks in their original setting before they were relocated. Photographed by York and Son during the period from 1870 to 1882, this print provides us with a glimpse into Victorian-era England. It serves as a remarkable reminder of our heritage and invites us to reflect on how architecture can shape our understanding of history.
