EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Osmington White Horse, a remarkable chalk cut hill figure of George III on horseback. Standing proudly on White Horse Hill near Osmington in Dorset, this iconic landmark dates back to the late summer of 1808 and is believed to have been created to commemorate the King's golden jubilee in October 1809 and his close ties with Weymouth. The aerial perspective offered by Damian Grady's lens allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur and intricacy of this Georgian masterpiece. The white silhouette against the lush green landscape creates a striking contrast that immediately draws our attention. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the skill and dedication required to carve such an impressive figure into the hillside over two centuries ago. The precision with which every line has been etched speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of those who brought this vision to life. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also invites us to reflect on our connection with land and heritage. It reminds us that even in today's fast-paced world, there are enduring symbols that remind us of our past and inspire us for generations to come. Damian Grady has masterfully captured not only an extraordinary piece of art but also a tangible link between history and present-day reality. This print stands as a tribute not just to George III or Weymouth but also to all those who have marveled
