EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled CC97_01442, showcases the Duke of Wellington Statue situated at Round Hill in Aldershot, Hampshire. The monument, a tribute to the renowned British military leader, was originally erected on Wellington Arch in Hyde Park, London. However, in 1883, when the arch was relocated to Constitution Hill, the statue was moved to its current location. The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, KG, GBE, PC, FRS (1769-1852), is celebrated for his pivotal role in the Napoleonic Wars, particularly the Peninsular War. His military prowess and strategic brilliance led to the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte's French forces, securing Europe from French domination. The statue, captured in this photograph by York and Son between 1870 and 1900, portrays the Duke in military uniform, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with a plume of feathers. His stern expression and statuesque pose exude the strength and determination that defined his military career. The intricate details of the statue, from the folds of his uniform to the lifelike features of his face, are beautifully rendered in this image. The relocation of the Duke of Wellington Statue to Aldershot, a town with a rich military history, is a fitting tribute to the man who played a crucial role in shaping Britain's military legacy. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring significance of the Duke of Wellington and his contributions to British history.
