EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the timeless beauty and grandeur of the Queen Victoria Memorial, located in front of Buckingham Palace in London. The memorial, dedicated to the long reigning monarch who ruled from 1837 to 1901, is dominated by the statue of "Peace" at its summit. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the statue is a masterpiece of Victorian art, depicting the goddess of peace holding an olive branch and a scepter, symbolizing the end of conflict and the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity. The memorial was unveiled in May 1911, during the reign of King George V, and has since become a cherished symbol of British history and tradition. The intricate details of the monument, from the ornate carvings to the meticulously crafted figures, are on full display in this photograph, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. The memorial stands as a testament to Queen Victoria's legacy, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art and history to inspire and captivate. Sir Thomas Brock's masterpiece continues to be a source of pride for the people of London and a must-see attraction for visitors from around the world.
