EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Arrival of the Wellington Statue at the Arch" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Published in The Illustrated London News on October 3rd, 1846, this engraving by Ebenezer Landells captures the excitement surrounding the installation of the iconic Wellington Statue. The monument itself is a tribute to Arthur Wellsley, also known as the 1st Duke of Wellington. As one of Britain's most celebrated military leaders and later Prime Minister, his victory at the Battle of Waterloo solidified his place in history. The statue depicts him mounted on Copenhagen, his trusted charger during that decisive battle. Made predominantly from bronze derived from French cannon captured at Waterloo, this magnificent sculpture was originally placed atop a victory arch at Hyde Park Corner. The print showcases its arrival at this location amidst an enthusiastic crowd and grand procession. The image reveals not only the scale and beauty of Matthew Cotes Wyatt's sculptural masterpiece but also provides insight into Victorian London with its neo-classical architecture serving as an impressive backdrop. Scaffolding surrounds both horse and rider as they are carefully positioned for their permanent display. Although eventually moved to Aldershot, this historic moment immortalized within Landells' engraving reminds us of Wellington's remarkable legacy and serves as a testament to British pride and admiration for their heroic leader.
