'Sir Arthur Wellesey Duke of Wellington', (1933). Portrait of British/Irish soldier and statesman Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852). Wellington commanded the victorious British forces in the Peninsular War, for which he was promoted to Field Marshal and made a duke. In 1815 he inflicted the final defeat on Napoleon at Waterloo. Christened the 'Iron Duke', Wellington served as Prime Minister in 1828-1830, but his intransigent opposition to parliamentary reform led to him being compelled to resign. His death was marked by a grand funeral and the honour of a burial in St Paul's Cathedral in London, alongside the other great British military hero of the Napoleonic Wars, Nelson. After a miniature by J Parent. From "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte", a book of cigarette-card portrait miniatures of figures in world history from the last four hundred years. [Germany, 1933]
