EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the solemn yet beautiful scene of Primrose Day at Lord Beaconsfield's bronze statue in Parliament Square, London. On the anniversary of British statesman and prime minister Benjamin Disraeli's death on 19 April 1881, the square is adorned with vibrant primroses, his favorite flower.
Queen Victoria often sent him bunches of primroses from Windsor and Osborne House, a touching gesture that added to the significance of this annual event. The statue faces St. Margaret's Church, creating a poignant backdrop for the commemoration.
In the late 1890s, this tradition continued to honor Lord Beaconsfield's legacy and contributions to British politics. Wreaths are laid at his feet as visitors pay their respects to one of Britain's most influential leaders.
The atmosphere is both reverent and celebratory as people gather around the statue, reflecting on Disraeli's impact on history. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Primrose Day in Westminster, where flowers and memories intertwine to create a lasting tribute to a remarkable man.
