EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sculpture of the New Front of Buckingham Palace, completed in 1850. The east facade of the London palace has been adorned with intricate sculptural enrichments, which are depicted in this image. The centre of the Park facade boasts allegorical figures, including those of St. George and the Dragon, and Britannia with the British Lion. These colossal statues, sculpted by John Ternouth, gracefully adorn the lateral turrets. St. George, a symbol of England's patron saint, stands proudly with his armored apparel and casque, while the never-to-be-conquered Dragon lies beneath his feet. Britannia, the personification of Britain, is depicted as a woman wearing a helmet and holding the British Lion, symbolizing the country's strength and power. This print, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the artistic school of the Victorian era and the patriotic spirit of the time. The sculptures, a popular tourist attraction, continue to captivate visitors with their symbolic meaning and allegorical representation, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of historical and artistic significance.
