EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal Portrait bust of the Duke of Cambridge, a distinguished British soldier from 1898. The subject of this portrait is George William Frederick Charles, the 2nd Duke of Cambridge, who held an esteemed position as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army for nearly four decades. A cousin to Queen Victoria herself, he commanded a division during the Crimean War and was later honored with the title of Field Marshal in 1862. The marble sculpture captures his commanding presence with meticulous detail. The Duke's resolute expression and military uniform exude authority and strength. His well-groomed moustache and whiskers add an air of sophistication to his noble countenance. Created by Francis John Williamson, this masterpiece resides within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, serving as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era Britain when military prowess played a vital role in shaping national identity. As we admire this remarkable work, we are reminded not only of Prince George's contribution to warfare but also his royal lineage that connects him directly to Queen Victoria herself. This portrait bust stands as an enduring tribute to one man's dedication to duty and service in defense of his nation.
