Description
The Queen Victoria Monument, located in Manchester, was completed in 1901 and designed by Onslow Ford. This monument is made of Portland stone and features bronze statuary. It has a square plan and is designed in the Baroque style. The monument is set on a base of six wide steps, leading up to a low plinth with a moulded foot and cornice. Atop this plinth is a large stone throne, which has a back designed as a Baroque aedicule with a broken pediment. This pediment is decorated with a shield of arms and swags, and features a bronze grotesque emerging from it. The centerpiece is a bronze statue of Queen Victoria seated on the throne. The rear of the monument includes engaged Corinthian columns and a round-headed arch that frames a statue of an allegorical female figure nursing two babies.
