EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dessert plate that holds not only historical significance but also artistic beauty. The plate, known as "Crossing the Mondego 1810 N080952" is housed in the prestigious APSLEY HOUSE at Hyde Park Corner in London. It is an item from the Wellington Museum, depicting a crucial moment during the crossing of the River Mondego in Portugal back in 1810. Part of an exquisite dinner service gifted by the King of Saxony to none other than the legendary Duke of Wellington himself in 1819, this dessert plate tells a tale of valor and triumph. As you gaze upon it, you are transported to one of the most significant events in Wellington's life - his involvement in the Peninsular War. The Saxon Service dessert plates were specifically designed to showcase various scenes from Wellington's remarkable journey. This particular piece immortalizes his strategic maneuver across Mondego with intricate details and vibrant colors. As we admire this remarkable artifact, let us appreciate its dual nature: both as a symbol of history and as a work of art. Through A J Photographics' lens, we can now marvel at this masterpiece without even stepping foot inside APSLEY HOUSE itself. So take a moment to immerse yourself into history and honor those who fought bravely on that battlefield so long ago under their great leader, Arthur Wellesley - better known as the Duke of Wellington.
