EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, captured in the late 18th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of The Old Horse Guards as it once stood before the new buildings were erected and the parade ground was cleared. The photograph, taken from St. James Park, presents a striking view of Whitehall, the iconic London street, with The Old Horse Guards ground visible in the foreground. The Old Horse Guards, an essential part of England's military history, was established in 1661 by King Charles II. The parade ground, where soldiers would perform their daily drills and inspections, was a bustling hub of activity. In this photograph, we can see the horses and their riders, dressed in red uniforms, standing at attention, ready for duty. The Old Horse Guards, located near the heart of London, was a symbol of the monarchy's power and authority. The building, which was eventually demolished in the late 19th century, was a significant architectural landmark in its own right. Its grandiose design, with its tall columns and intricate carvings, reflected the grandeur and opulence of the time. This photograph, taken in the 18th century, provides a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past. It offers a unique perspective on the history of The Old Horse Guards and the role it played in England's military and cultural heritage. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the sounds, sights, and sensations of a bygone era.
