EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Wellington Arch, serving as the entrance to Green Park in London circa 1915. Designed by the renowned architect Decimus Burton and constructed between 1826 and 1830, this triumphal arch stands as a testament to Britain's rich history and architectural brilliance. Originally known as Constitution Arch or the Green Park Arch, it was relocated to its current position in 1882-1883. The focal point of this magnificent structure is undoubtedly the quadriga sculpture mounted on top since 1912. Crafted by Adrian Jones, this ancient four-horse chariot adds an exquisite touch to Wellington Arch's grandeur. Hand-colored with meticulous attention to detail, this postcard-style print transports viewers back in time. The vibrant colors breathe life into every element captured within its frame – from the lush landscape surrounding Hyde Park Corner to the architectural features that define London's skyline. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported into a different era – a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed Constitution Hill and tourists marveled at such remarkable feats of engineering. This photograph serves not only as a visual reminder of our past but also as an invitation for future generations to explore and appreciate London's historical treasures.
