Chamberlain Memorial : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chamberlain Memorial
The Chamberlain Memorial was erected in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, England, on 20 October 1880, to commemorate the public service of Joseph Chamberlain, who was present at the inauguration ceremony. Joseph Chamberlain was a Birmingham businessman, councillor, mayor and Member of Parliament. He died in 1914. ==Construction== For the creation of the monument, £3,000 of public funds were raised. The monument was designed by John Henry Chamberlain (no relation), a personal friend and municipal architect. The design is tall and of neo-gothic style, reminiscent of the Albert Memorial. It bears a portrait medallion of Chamberlain by Thomas Woolner on the south side. The carvings of the capitals and the crocketted spire were done by S. Barfield of Leicester, John Henry Chamberlain's favourite sculptor. Salviati Burke and Co. of Venice were commissioned to do the mosaics after their success with the Birmingham Council House.〔''Public Sculpture of Birmingham: Including Sutton Coldfield'', George Thomas Noszlopy, 1998, Liverpool University Press (ISBN 0853236925)〕 It is Grade II listed.
