Description
*My first thought was "Who polishes the statues?"
The Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace, London was erected in 1911.
Glistening in the sun is the gilt bronze figure 'Winged Victory' - atop of the central pylon which is a single piece of carved marble, weighing 40 tonnes.
One of four bronze statues surrounding the memorial, this is named 'Manufacture' with a caption on the base plate "A Gift from New Zealand'
