EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous occasion in British history - a banquet held by the esteemed Duke of Wellington at Apsley House, his London residence. The year is 1836, precisely 21 years after his resounding triumph over Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo. The image showcases an opulent dining room adorned with elegant furniture and a grand table set for an array of distinguished guests. Seated around this table are men who have bravely served their country as soldiers, veterans whose valor has contributed to securing Britain's freedom. Their presence evokes a sense of camaraderie and reminiscence as they gather to honor their commander and relive the glory days on that fateful battlefield. Amidst this gathering stands the legendary Duke himself, Arthur Wellesley, known as "the Iron Duke". With commanding presence and eloquence, he addresses his comrades-in-arms while they listen attentively. This reunion serves not only as a commemoration but also as a testament to the enduring bond forged through shared sacrifice. The photograph transports us back in time to witness this historic event unfold within the walls of Apsley House - an iconic symbol of power and prestige in London's Westminster district. It is an extraordinary glimpse into British heritage that reminds us of the indomitable spirit displayed by those who fought for their nation's freedom under Wellington's leadership.
