EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the bronze statue of Boudicca, also known as Boadicea, stands proudly at the foot of Westminster Bridge in London. The iconic figure of the Iceni queen, who led an uprising against the occupying Roman forces in AD 60-61, has been a symbol of defiance and resistance since her statue was unveiled in 1855. Sculpted by Thomas Thornycroft in 1850, the life-size statue depicts Boudicca in regal attire, seated on her chariot and accompanied by her two daughters and a warrior. Her fierce expression and the reins in her hand suggest her readiness to lead her people into battle. The photograph captures not only the intricate details of the bronze statue but also the grandeur of its surroundings. The towering Big Ben clock, with its iconic bell tower, looms above the statue, adding a sense of historical significance to the scene. The River Thames flows calmly in the background, reflecting the beauty and tranquility of the area. Boudicca's statue is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of London. It is a reminder of the city's past, as well as a source of inspiration for future generations. The statue's enduring presence at the heart of the city serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the human spirit, and the power of art to capture and preserve history. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique perspective of this iconic statue and its surroundings. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic site and to reflect on the stories and legends that have shaped the city of London.
