EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated circa 1910s, showcases the iconic Copper Horse statue located at the end of the Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire. The equestrian sculpture, created by Sir Richard Westmacott (1775-1856), marks the end of the historic mile-long avenue that leads from Windsor Castle to Snow Hill. The statue, which depicts King George III on horseback, is clad in a copper green patina, giving it an otherworldly and timeless appearance. The rugged plinth, overgrown with moss and lichen, adds to the wild and untamed beauty of the surrounding landscape. The rocky platform on which the statue stands provides a stark contrast to the sleek and polished horse and rider. The Long Walk, a favorite among visitors to Windsor Great Park, is a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. The avenue, which stretches for over two miles, offers stunning views of the park and the castle. The Copper Horse, with its commanding presence, serves as a fitting end to this scenic walkway. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the essence of the past while also highlighting the natural beauty of the present. The overgrown plinth and the rugged terrain add to the sense of history and tradition, making this a truly captivating image of Windsor's rich heritage.
