STATESMEN'S CORNER, NORTH TRANSEPT, WESTMINSTER ABBEY, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Statesmen's Corner, North Transept, Westminster Abbey, [London], 1865. 'The more ancient monuments of the larger size, conspicuous on the opposite side of the north transept are those of two Dukes of Newcastle. These are, first, William Cavendish, the loyalist Duke, who died in 1676, and who lies here with his wife, the Duchess Margaret...The second is John Holles, the Duke who died in 1711. Three of our old Admirals - namely, Sir Charles Wagner, Vernon, of Portobello, and Sir Peter Warren - are likewise accommodated here...The statue of Canning, by Sir Francis Chantrey, is nearly opposite to the grave of Lord Palmerston, which is inclosed by the black handrail...Not less excellent, in its way, is Chantrey's statue of Sir John Malcolm, in his uniform as Major-General, with hand resting on his sword. The statue of Lord Castlereagh (or Robert, second Marquis of Londonderry, as the inscription says) is the work of Mr. Evan Thomas, and is creditable to that artist. It may be seen, to the left hand, close to the end of the black railings...The statue of Sir Robert Peel, by Gibson, stands in the right-hand corner, in the foreground of this View. The gravestone of William Pitt lies in the centre of the pavement'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865. Statesmen's Corner, North Transept, Westminster Abbey, 1865. Creator: Unknown.

STATUE OF THE GAULISH CHIEFTAIN VERCINGETORIX, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Statue of the Gaulish chieftain Vercingetorix, 1865. 'It is in the last moment of despair that the artist who designed the colossal statue (M. Millet, of Paris) has sought to represent the Gallic chief. The statue has been ably reproduced in metal by M. Aubert...The very successful execution of this statue in cuivre repoussé is calculated to bring about important changes in the art of sculpture, especially in its application to public monuments in the open air. The idea of this process, to which the name of chalcoglyphy has been given, originated about ten years since in the mind of M. Cusson, a working blacksmith at Montpellier (the subsequent instructor of M. Aubert), who has superseded the chisel by the hammer, and the marble by plates of copper, which he beats into the forms prescribed by his models. In these chalcoglyphic productions the copper, from its softness, can be transformed by the hammer into any shape, and in less than half the time required for the execution of works chiseled out of marble; the difference both in the cost of production and in the diminished weight of the statue or monument is very considerable'.

E. Paul, furnished the design, and has superintended the casting, without any pecuniary reward. [The statue]...stands on a marble pedestal about 12 ft. high...[and] measures nearly 10 ft. in height. It is of iron, bronzed by galvanic aid, and cast by M. Brochon...The pose of the figure is easy, and it is clothed in the costume of 1810. The head is slightly inclined, as though absorbed in thought. In the right hand he holds a lancet. The left hand reposes on a pile of treatises placed on a pedestal, from which depends a sketch of a cow.

The ceremony of unveiling the statue [designed by Charles Summers] was performed by his Excellency the Governor, Sir Charles Darling...that the event excited great interest was proved by the gathering together of thousands of citizens of all classes to witness the ceremony. John King, the sole survivor of the small and noble band of explorers who succeeded in crossing to the Gulf of Carpentaria, was present on the occasion, which to him must have been one of mingled pleasure and sorrow'.

Foley R.A., in high relief, a figure of the Muse of Painting. She stands in a pensive attitude. The head, encircled with a laurel corona, is inclined forward, the eyes fixed on the grave beneath. In her left hand she holds a palette and sheaf of brushes. The drapery is disposed with Greek simplicity, and the whole figure has an air of antique grace; yet the gesture is touching in its natural pathos' We do not remember a more chaste and appropriate sculptural tribute to the dead...The late James Ward, who died in 1859, aged ninety-two, was for several years the oldest living Academician. He was an excellent engraver, but is deservedly better known as an animal-painter...He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1807, and an Academician in 1811'.

TOMB OF POTATAU, THE FIRST MAORI KING, AT NGARUWAHIA, NEW ZEALAND, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Tomb of Te Where Where, alias Potatau, the first Maori king, at Ngaruwahia, New Zealand, 1864. 'The personal career of King Potatau was a very remarkable one. The name of Potatau, which signifies "He who counteth by night," was given to him on account of his sleepless attention at the deathbed of a lamented wife. He had formerly been called "Te Where Where," or, the Red Man, because he was the first who wore a red blanket when English cloth was imported into New Zealand...Potatau, who had resided some years near Auckland, was a friendly old man, and had rendered much service to the Colonial Government, which allowed him a pension...Old Potatau, it seems, died of a broken heart. He had been reading the cruel and insolent language of one of the Auckland newspapers, which threatened the "niggers" with condign vengeance...to the Maoris around him he said, "Hold fast to love, to law, and to the faith." The tomb of Potatau, as shown in our Engraving, is a curious wooden structure, something like a small summer-house, painted white, and surrounded by a ditch and bank. A British soldier stood centry [sic] over the place at the time the photograph was taken'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

The monument to the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis at New Radnor, [in Wales], 1864. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Barrar. 'The architect...is Mr. John Gibbs...From his design, and under his superintendence, the monument...has just been completed by Mr. Mansfield. It is...built mainly of Box ground stone. It is 77 ft. high by 25 ft. in width at the base, and is octagonal in form...in four recesses, divided by eight columns, stand, under richly-carved canopies, four allegorical figures...representing Justice, Truth, Oratory, and Literature. The next stage consists of red Mansfield stone, placed round an octagonal shaft, and decorated with the coats of arms of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, immediately over which are four large griffins grasping the arms of the Lewis family. An ornamental spire springing from this last stage, and having at the top a carved cross with a circle entwined in its centre, terminates the structure, the general effect of which will be best conceived by imagining a slender church steeple, richly decorated, and gracefully tapering, stage by stage, from a platform ascended by steps at its base...The figures have been sculptured by Mr. Forsyth...and the foliage and other carving by Mr. W. Stevens'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864. The monument to the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis at New Radnor, 1864. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

The sides of the obelisk are ornamented...with marble bas-reliefs, representing the Emperor Napoleon [and] Victor Emmanuel...there are four openings with a decoration in the form of a star. These openings, illuminated by a powerful lamp kept burning in the interior, give the monument by night the appearance of a light-house; so that by night, as well as by day, this memorial of Magenta will proclaim itself afar. Beneath the chapel...a large crypt has been reserved, wherein to receive the bones and mortal remains of the brave men who died in the cause of Italian liberty on the plain of Magenta'.

OLD CHARING-CROSS, FROM AGGAS'S PLAN OF LONDON, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

Old Charing-Cross, from Aggas's plan of London, 1864. 'Charing-cross, the large area at the meeting of the Strand, Whitehall, and Cockspur-street, with Trafalgar-square on the north, received the latter part of its name from the stone cross erected there (1291-94) to Eleanor, Queen of Edward I.; and was the last resting-place of her remains on the way from Northampton to their final repository in Westminster Abbey. The etymology of Charing remains unaccounted for. The fanciful notion that it owes its name to the circumstance above related, being derived from chère Reine [dear Queen], is manifestly erroneous from the fact that the place, then a small village quite apart from London, is entered under the name of Charing in "Doomsday Book." [In the 17th century,] the cross was destroyed by puritanical bigotry, being ordered to be razed by order of the Long Parliament as a relic of Papistry. Its demolition, in 1647, was celebrated by some of the wits of the time-by one of them in humorous strains'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
