EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a significant moment in history, beautifully engraved by Werner. In this exquisite print, we witness the esteemed Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, presenting a heartfelt gift to Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. The young prince is none other than the beloved third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. This image holds even more significance as it was taken on the shared birthday of both the Duke and Prince Arthur. Moreover, it coincides with the opening day of the Great Exhibition—an event that marked an era of innovation and progress. The portrait showcases not only their familial bond but also highlights their distinguished roles in society. The Duke's military uniform exudes authority and statesmanship while little Prince Arthur embodies innocence amidst his regal surroundings. Lily-of-the-valley flowers adorn this enchanting scene, symbolizing purity and new beginnings. They serve as a poignant reminder that this occasion represents not just a celebration but also marks an important milestone for both godfather and godson. Through Winterhalter's masterful artistry, we are transported back to Victorian times—a period characterized by elegance and refinement. This print captures not only a cherished family moment but also offers us glimpses into an era long gone by.
