EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Colossal Statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington, created by the skilled sculptor, Mr. Milligan, in 1850. The statue was commissioned by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence and was intended to be placed upon a monument eighteen feet high on Southsea-common, near Portsmouth. The Duke of Wellington, also known as 'The Iron Duke,' was the greatest military and naval hero of the age, having led the British Army to victory in the Peninsular War against Napoleon and later serving as Prime Minister. The statue stands proudly in full length, clad in the uniform of a British army officer, complete with boots and galoshes. The Duke is depicted in a thoughtful pose, holding a telescope, perhaps reflecting on naval warfare and the Royal Navy's successes. The statue of the Duke of Wellington stands alongside another colossal statue of Lord Nelson, creating a significant historical landmark. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fashion, politics, and admiration for its military and naval heroes.
