It appears to have been one of a number of works by Cibber that stood in the square.〔 By the early 19th century, the statue was described as being "in a most wretched and mutilated state; and the inscriptions on the base of the pedestal quite illegible".〔("Soho Square Area: Portland Estate: Soho Square Garden" ) in ''Survey of London'' volumes 33 and 34 (1966) St Anne Soho, pp. 51–53. Date accessed: 5 January 2015.〕 In 1875–6 the square underwent substantial changes to its layout, during which the badly deteriorated statue was removed and the fountain demolished. The statue was rescued by Thomas Blackwell of the condiment firm Crosse & Blackwell, who had offices in the square. He gave it to his friend, the artist Frederick Goodall, with the intention that it might be restored.〔 The present half-timbered gardener's shed took the statue's place at the centre of the square. Goodall installed the statue on an island in a lake at Grim's Dyke, his house near Harrow Weald; he wrote that "in the twilight it looks very mysterious and weird with its reflection in the water."〔 It remained there when the dramatist W. S. Gilbert purchased the property in 1890, and there it stayed after his death in 1911, despite a request from Crosse & Blackwell for the statue's return, which Gilbert apparently ignored.〔 Gilbert's widow agreed to bequeath the statue to the committee responsible for the square's upkeep and following her death it was duly moved back to the square, where it now stands a short distance north of its original site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Statue of Charles II, Soho Square」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
