EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic statue of Victory, created by renowned sculptor John Angelo, standing proudly in the north garden of the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley Park. Erected during the 1920s, this magnificent artwork symbolizes triumph and unity within the vast territories of the British Empire. The British Empire Exhibition, which opened on St Georges Day in 1924, was a grand event aimed at fostering trade and strengthening bonds between countries across the empire. The exhibition sought to showcase Britain's global influence and celebrate its imperial achievements. In this photograph taken by Katherine MacFee for Historic England, we witness Victory's commanding presence against a backdrop of lush greenery. The statue exudes an aura of power and resilience as it stands tall with outstretched wings and a laurel wreath held high above its head. John Angelo's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this sculpture; from Victory's intricate drapery to her serene facial expression. This image not only serves as a testament to Angelo's artistic prowess but also reminds us of Britain's historical significance on an international scale. As we admire this remarkable piece of art captured through time by Katherine MacFee, let us reflect upon the legacy left behind by both artist and subject alike – one that continues to inspire awe and admiration for centuries to come.
