art.wikisort.org - SculptureThe statue of Queen Victoria by Joseph Edgar Boehm stands on College Green, Bristol, England. It is Grade II listed.[1]
The statue was planned as part of the celebrations of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria[2] and was erected on the apex of College Green, displacing a replica of the medieval Bristol High Cross, which was moved to the centre of the Green.[3]
The round steps of limestone ashlar lead to a square copper base with fish, putti, and inscribed panels, which support the marble statue. The figure of Queen Victoria is holding a sceptre and orb which are now broken. The statue itself is 8 feet 6 inches high and weighs four tons.[2] It was unveiled on 25 July 1888 by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, one of Victoria's grandsons.[4]
The statue is one of a series of very similar statues Boehm made for the Queen’s Jubilee to stand at Windsor, Balmoral Castle, Sydney, and Pietermaritzburg.[5]
When it was put into place, a glass time capsule was incorporated into the plinth. This was uncovered during works in 2004 and given to Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.[4]
The statue has been moved several times.
