Queen Victoria's Statue, Hong Kong
A view of the bronze Queen Victoria Jubilee statue within its marble canopy in Statue Square (Royal Square), Hong Kong. The statue is shown from the side, with Queen Victoria looking right towards the harbour which is out of shot. In the background is the corner of Prince's Building (left) under construction and the colonnaded Queen's Building on the right. Wreaths have been laid on the steps up to the statue (just evident in profile) and four wreaths resting against the base of the statue canopy. Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901.
Mario Raggi’s bronze statue of Queen Victoria was commissioned to mark the queen’s Golden Jubilee of 1887, and erected in Hong Kong on 28 May 1896. The statue was installed under a sixty-foot-high architectural canopy made of Portland stone.
The original negative envelope was labelled: ''Queen Victoria's Statue, H.K., 6.2.01'.
