EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the bustling streets of Piccadilly from Hyde Park Corner in London, circa 1915. The view is dominated by the magnificent Wellington Arch, a triumphal arch that stands proudly between Hyde Park and Green Park. Designed by Decimus Burton and constructed between 1826 and 1830, this architectural marvel once supported an equestrian statue of the esteemed 1st Duke of Wellington. The centerpiece of the arch is undoubtedly the quadriga, an ancient four-horse chariot sculpture designed by Adrian Jones. This stunning artwork has adorned the arch since its installation in 1912, adding to its grandeur and historical significance. Hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, this postcard captures a moment frozen in time. It offers us a glimpse into early twentieth-century London life - a vibrant city filled with traffic and transport as people go about their daily routines. Piccadilly's iconic avenue stretches out before us, lined with statuesque buildings that exude British charm. Constitution Hill leads our eyes towards Buckingham Palace while offering an enchanting backdrop for leisurely strolls or horse-drawn carriages passing through. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded of London's rich history and timeless beauty. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in architecture and as an invitation for travelers to explore one of Britain's most beloved tourist attractions – Piccadilly from Hyde Park Corner.
