EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive Monument to George IV, located at Battle Bridge in London during the year 1835. The octagonal monument, beautifully depicted in this watercolour image by George Sidney Shepherd, was erected a year later in 1836 and became an iconic landmark of the area. As a testament to its significance, Battle Bridge itself underwent a name change and is now known as Kings Cross. The photograph captures not only the architectural grandeur of the monument but also offers glimpses into street life during the 19th century. Horse-drawn vehicles can be seen traversing along the road nearby while people go about their daily activities amidst this regal setting. George IV, also known as Prinnie or Prinny, was Prince Regent before ascending to become King of Great Britain and Ireland. His reign marked an era of opulence and cultural refinement that greatly influenced British society. This print serves as both a historical document and a work of art. Its vibrant colors bring to life an important moment in London's history while showcasing Shepherd's artistic talent. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of architecture but also how transportation played a significant role in shaping urban landscapes during that time period.
