EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photographic postcard captures the iconic figure of Telescope Man, located beneath the majestic Boadicea Statue in Westminster, London. The statue, sculpted by the renowned British artist Lord Thomas Thorneycroft in the 1860s, was not cast until 1902. Thorneycroft, known for his meticulous attention to detail, expertly crafted the statue of a man selling telescopes, chocolate, and other novelties from a makeshift stand. The Telescope Man, with his telescope and binoculars at the ready, is a beloved fixture in the history of Westminster. The Boadicea Statue, also known as Queen Boudicca, stands proudly atop her chariot, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the ancient British queen. The juxtaposition of these two figures, one representing the past and the other the present, creates a fascinating interplay of history and life. The intricate details of the Telescope Man's stand, adorned with various maps, plans, and bars of nougat sweets, add to the charm of this scene. The man's expression, full of warmth and curiosity, invites passersby to take a closer look and perhaps make a purchase. This postcard, with its rich historical context and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for any collection. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of photography, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of London's past, this image is sure to delight.
