EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Horse Guards Building in Whitehall, London during the 1960s. The Horse Guards, a ceremonial infantry regiment of the British Army, have been standing guard at this historic site since 1661. The building itself, designed by the architects William Kent and Christopher Wren, was completed in 1750 and has served variously as a royal residence, a military headquarters, and a ceremonial venue. In this image, we see a line of horses and their riders, the Horse Guards, standing at attention in front of the building. The horses, with their polished coats and obedient demeanor, reflect the discipline and tradition that have come to define this iconic British institution. The building, with its ornate facade and imposing columns, looms majestically in the background. The photograph was taken by the renowned English photographer Edmund Nagele, who was known for his evocative images of urban life and historic sites. Nagele, who worked for John Hinde Studios during the 1960s, captured this scene with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the history and culture of his native land. The result is a timeless image that transports us back to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of London and the British military.
