EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Statue of Herbert Ingram, a memorial dedicated to the visionary founder of the Illustrated London News, located in the heart of Boston, Lincolnshire. Unveiled in October 1862, the monument was designed by the renowned Scottish sculptor Alexander Munro, standing proudly in the Market Place of this historic English town. Herbert Ingram (1811-1860), a pioneer in journalism and innovation, is depicted in the statue as a seated figure, deep in thought, with an open book in his hands. The allegorical figure at the base of the monument celebrates Ingram's groundbreaking efforts to bring the first piped water to the town, symbolizing his commitment to improving the lives of the people of Boston. In the background, the distinctive silhouette of St Botolph's Church, affectionately known as the Boston Stump, rises majestically against the sky. This 13th-century Parish Church, with its unique octagonal tower, has been a landmark of the town for centuries and adds to the rich historical context of the scene. The intricate details of the monument, from the flowing robes of the figures to the intricate patterns of the base, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Alexander Munro. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring legacy of Herbert Ingram but also a beautiful representation of the history and character of Boston, Lincolnshire.
