Légende

Inauguration of the Wellington Statue, Glasgow, 1844. Unveiling of an equestrian sculpture of British soldier and politician Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, in front of the Royal Exchange. The sculptor was Carlo Marochetti. 'The scene was very imposing; for various banners flaunted in the vicinity, and every house-top and window from which a view could be obtained, was filled with anxious gazers...The opening was greeted by a round of enthusiastic cheering, and succeeded by ihe booming of the guns of the artillery, which had been placed in Bell?s Park, and which signalised the moment of the inauguration to every part of the city'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
