In the night sky, the constellations Cygnus, Lacerta, and the Milky Way (Via Lactea) represent the swan's celestial form. The Swan at Chelsea and Doggett's Coat and Badge Boat Race in 1843 are legendary events steeped in swan lore. The Swan and Red Lion Hotels in Haliford and Miss Clara St Casse's portrayal of "Edgar" in "The Swan and Edgar" at St James Theatre are just a few of the many artistic representations of this elegant creature. Even in the works of George Catlin, the swan takes center stage as a symbol of strength and resilience in "Two Weeah Warriors and a Woman." And let us not forget the iconic Swan in Elstow, Bedfordshire, a testament to the enduring allure of this magnificent bird.
