This is a black-and-white photo of a statue. The figure stands tall on a pedestal, dressed in old-fashioned armor with a cloak draped over one arm. The face is serious, with a helmet tucked under the arm. The background is plain, and the statue looks like it’s made of metal or stone. The photo itself is grainy and faded, like an old postcard. It was taken at the Great Exhibition in 1851, where new inventions and art were shown off. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
