EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Duke of Wellington's Mounting Block in Waterloo Place, Westminster. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases a piece of history that still stands today. The mounting block served as a platform for riders to mount their horses conveniently. In this scene, we see a young boy dressed in his school uniform standing near the mounting block. His coat and cap suggest that it might be a chilly day in London. The boy's presence adds a touch of nostalgia and innocence to the photograph. The backdrop of Waterloo Place provides a glimpse into the bustling streets of historic England during the 1920s or 1930s. This portrait offers us insight into daily life at that time, capturing not only architecture but also glimpses of passing cars and pedestrians. The Duke of Wellington's Mounting Block holds great significance as it symbolizes British history and tradition. It serves as a reminder of past glory while blending seamlessly with modern surroundings. This remarkable photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock around 1930. Its gravure-printed quality adds depth to its visual appeal. Overall, this image invites viewers to take a step back in time and appreciate both the architectural beauty surrounding Westminster and the simplicity of childhood captured within this snapshot from early twentieth-century Britain.
