Angel of the Scutari Monument, by Marochetti, at the Crystal Palace, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Angel of the Scutari Monument, by Marochetti, at the Crystal Palace, 1856. Detail from a model of the Scutari Monument, designed by Baron Marochetti, which was unveiled by Queen Victoria at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham. It was...made in imitation of granite, with a weeping figure of an angel at each corner'. The full-size monument, which became known as the Crimean War Memorial, was commissioned to commemorate the Crimean War. It comprises a granite obelisk on a square base with four identical angels on its upper part, each bearing a palm frond and a wreath, and serving as caryatids to support a canopy. It is located in the English Cemetery, Haidar Pasha, a suburb of Istanbul between Uskudar (Scutari) and Kadikoy. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
