The Duke of Wellington's funeral in November 1852 was one of the most spectacular ever seen in England. The procession to St Paul's Cathedral was watched by a crowd estimated at a million and a half people. This printed panorama, over sixty-six feet long, was published to commemorate the event. An iPad app on the funeral procession is available from www.npg.org.uk/wellington. More information about this work can be found in the Heinz Archive and Library's record for this work.
