EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Duke of York's Column, a prominent landmark in St James's Park, Westminster, London during the 19th century. Erected in 1834 as a tribute to Prince Frederick, Duke of York, it stands proudly at Waterloo Place where the bustling Mall and Regent Street intersect. The bronze statue atop the column depicts the esteemed Duke himself - Richard Westmacott skillfully brought him to life with his remarkable craftsmanship. Prince Frederick was not only a member of British royalty but also held a significant role as commander-in-chief of the British Army during the French Revolutionary Wars. This monument serves as a reminder of his dedication and leadership during those tumultuous times. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this image, transporting us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these streets and soldiers marched along its lanes. It evokes a sense of history and grandeur that is synonymous with London's architectural marvels. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of both the rich heritage embedded within every corner of this city and the individuals who have shaped its destiny. It is through such visual treasures that we can appreciate our past while embracing our present in this vibrant metropolis known as Westminster.
