Statue of Queen Victoria by Frampton to stand in Calcutta
A long critique praises George Frampton for a new Queen Victoria statue commissioned with Diamond Jubilee funds for Calcutta. It lauds his realism, decorative throne, and symbolic back with a lion and tiger, noting the arch and marble pedestal will frame the work. The piece argues previous English portraits biased by flattery, while this statue presents a regal, aging queen embodying power and duty.
