Title: Doulton Fountain
Date: August 2021
This highly decorative five-tier fountain in French Renaissance style was designed to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
Clearly a sculptural extravaganza, a lower group of figures represent the diversity of the Empire by illustrating the people of Australia, Canada, India and South Africa. Water spouts descend from lion-masks around the upper basin, while above this soldiers from Scotland, England and Wales, together with a sailor, represent the armed forces. Further spouts descends from the urns of water-carrying female figures on the next tier, while a slightly larger than life-size Queen Victoria presides at the apex of the monument.
Made of terracotta on an iron frame, it is thought to be the largest of its kind in the world.
