The equestrian statue of William III by John Michael Rysbrack is situated at the centre of Queen's Square, which was home to many Bristol merchants and slave-traders in the eighteenth century. According to Nicola Smith, the city's merchant community and the Society of Merchant Venturers were prominent financial backers of the statue to William, with the Society contributing at least £500 to its erection.

Monument to Jean-Baptiste Marchand, Paris

The monument is a 12-metre-long wall, tiered into three steps rising from left to right to a height of 4.30 metres. To the left: a bas-relief depicts a line of 11 marchers, with the Europeans at the head of the line. The mission doctor is seated on a low stool, treating a soldier. A European waits beside him, keeping an eye on the column. The itinerary, marked with place names, is engraved above the column. Plants appear between the figures. Right: the statue of Marchand is detached from the monument, raised and oversized in relation to the others. Bareheaded, arms folded, he stands facing the viewer, guarding the flagpole and shield, both in bronze. This statue was damaged and removed in 1983. The names of all the Europeans and the number of African soldiers are engraved on the shield.

Monument to Thomas Carlyle, Glasgow

Monument Victor Schœlcher, Schœlcher

The statue, created by Martinican sculptor Marie-Thérèse Lung Fou (1909-1981), depicts abolitionist Victor Schœlcher standing in full regalia. The refined, sober work of art deco inspiration honors the memory of the abolitionist politician with dignity. The artist breaks with the paternalistic, colonial vision of older monuments, notably those in Fort-de-France and Cayenne. A plaque on the pedestal recalls the decree of the Provisional Government of March 4, 1848: “No French land shall bear slaves any longer. Victor Schœlcher 1804-1893”.
