  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Anton Kruger was born in Germany in 1852, and died in Brisbane 1917. On his headstone is engraved: Avoid the tears That on my grave are shed Why weep for me in sorrow God heart it well with me O take this word of comfort. God's will be done.

Angel and Devils

from North East Museums

  • cigcardpix said:
    the angel is from the top of the South African War memorial in the Haymarket. This photo is from 1975 when she was taken away for restoration during the building of the Tyneside Metro station below. Now fully restored (with a new body and fibreglass wings!) she holds a sword in the left hand and a laurel garland in the right. In the background are the Plough public house, which closed in 1976, and the ABC Haymarket cinema. The whole block was demolished in 1985

    And some more interesting ART trivia.. text from " The Victorian Web" This statue by Jones replaced Matthew Cotes Wyatt's gigantic — and much criticized — equestrian statue of Wellington that was taken down and not replaced when the arch moved from its first location opposite Apsley House to Hyde Park Corner in 1882-83. The Angel of Peace Descending on the Chariot of War takes the form of a quadriga (a racing chariot with four horses used in both the ancient Olympic Games in Greece and later in ancient Rome). Since classical times, the quadriga has served as an emblem of victory, . _____ . www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/jones/2.html George P.
