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”.

Nelson Monument, Liverpool

Nelson's Column

Depicts a standing figure of Nelson, on top of a high Corinthina pillar with an elaborate capitol. Nelson is in a dynamic standing posture, wearing eighteenth-century military attire, and holding a sword in his left hand. The sleeve of the amputated arm is tucked into the lapels of the court. The four sides of the pedestal are decorated with four bronze reliefs, created using captured and melted French cannons. The south-facing panel, titled 'The death of Nelson' depicts a soldier with African features, holding a musket. David Olusoga notes how contemporary observers noticed this figure, their African features, and commented on it positively. Four bronze Barbary lions were added to the base of the column much later, in 1867.
