EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning silver shield, meticulously crafted in the 19th century. The shield was commissioned by Green, War & Green, an esteemed group of merchants and bankers from the City of London. Their intention was to present this exquisite piece of art to none other than the legendary Duke of Wellington. Designed by the renowned artist Thomas Stothard and skillfully made by Benjamin Smith, this shield is a true testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. Every intricate detail on its surface tells a story of honor and valor. The shield now finds its home at Apsley House, also known as The Wellington Museum, located in London. It stands as a symbol of admiration for one of Britain's greatest military leaders. In this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the grandeur that this ceremonial piece exudes. Its presence evokes images of lavish parties and formal gatherings where distinguished guests would gather around it with awe. While we cannot see these festivities directly in the photo print, our imagination takes us back to that era when such magnificent works were created to celebrate important occasions. This image serves as a reminder that art has always played an integral role in commemorating significant events throughout history.
