Planned Wellington Arch
A drawing by architect Decimus Burton of his planned Wellington Arch and screen, at the entrance to Constitution Hill, London, circa 1825. The arch was built between 1826 and 1830. The drawing shows the arch with ornamentation, which was never added due its cost, and topped by a sculpture of a quadriga, which was not installed until 1912.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable drawing by architect Decimus Burton, depicting his visionary plan for the iconic Wellington Arch and screen at the entrance to Constitution Hill in London, circa 1825. The arch itself was meticulously constructed between 1826 and 1830, becoming an enduring symbol of grandeur and heritage. In this intriguing image, we witness the arch adorned with intricate ornamentation that unfortunately never materialized due to budget constraints. However, it is fascinating to note that the sculpture of a quadriga crowning the arch was only added much later in 1912. The photograph captures a bustling scene on a sunny day near Hyde Park Corner as a medium-sized group of people can be seen strolling along Constitution Hill. Their presence adds life and scale to this historic architectural masterpiece. The drawing showcased here exudes elegance and meticulous attention to detail. It offers us an enchanting glimpse into Burton's original vision for this renowned landmark. This archival piece serves as both a testament to British architecture during the early 19th century and as an artistic treasure that continues to captivate viewers today. With its rich historical significance, stunning architectural design, and picturesque location in London's heart, Wellington Arch remains one of England's most beloved attractions—a true testament to human ingenuity standing proudly at the entranceway of history.
