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, which has a rather blank facade, 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.)
