Bust

Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee - W1

Inscription

{In the terracotta either side of the roundel:}
Diamond Reign

Not the most flattering portrait of the old dear.

Site: Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee - W1 (1 memorial)

W1, Foubert's Place, 31, Foubert Mansions

The first floor bow window faced in terracotta could almost be an addition to the building but the architecture of the whole is about right for 1897. (It seems the theme of Soho's Christmas decorations this year, 2010, is, oh so relevant, space.)
