EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), in his full military regalia, wearing a cocked hat and carrying an army staff. The Duke, who rose to prominence as a British military and political leader, is best known for his victory in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, which ended the Napoleonic Wars. The cocked hat, a traditional headgear of the British Army, is made of black beaver fur and features a high crown, a small brim, and a cockade adorned with a white feather. The hat is held in place by a hatband and a chinstrap. The Duke's hat is also adorned with a badge of rank, a silver gorget, and a plume of white ostrich feathers. The army staff, carried by the Duke, is a symbol of his military authority and command. The staff is topped with a silver finial in the shape of a dragon or a lion, and it is decorated with various military insignia and medals. The Duke's staff also features a silver knob, which he would use to tap the ground as a sign of authority. The photograph was taken circa 1846, making it an important historical record of the Duke's military uniform and insignia during his later years. The image provides a glimpse into the grandeur and tradition of the British military during the 19th century and the legacy of one of its most celebrated leaders.
