Légende

New statue of the Queen at Brighton, 1898. 'By the generosity of its Mayor, Sir John Blaker, Brighton has received a valuable addition to its sculpture in the form of the fine statue of the Queen [ie Victoria], which is here reproduced from a photograph. The statue, which was unveiled not long before Christmas by the munificent Mayor's little daughter, Miss Jessie Blaker, has been wrought out of a handsome block of Carrara marble by the well-known Italian sculptor, Signor Nicoli. The statue itself measures nine feet in height, and is proudly reared upon a massive pedestal of Ravaccione marble. The work has been carried out under the supervision of the Sculptured Marble Company, who placed the commission in the hands of Signor Nicoli. Loyal Brighton may certainly congratulate itself on its latest memorial of her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
