Statue of the late Marquis Wellesley, by Weekes, 1845. Creator: Unknown

Statue of the late Marquis Wellesley, by Weekes, 1845. Sculpture of Richard Colley Wellesley by Henry Weekes. This cleverly-executed marble Statue, from the chisel of Mr. Weekes...was included in the last Exhibition of the Royal Academy. It was a commission from the Honourable East India Company...as a memorial of their high sense of the Marquiss brilliant Administration in India, and which, too, has been productive of lasting good. Of his Lordships six or seven years service in India, it has been well observed, that, " without adopting all the exaggerated eulogies of the panegyrists of the Marquis Wellesley, his policy was, in the circumstances of our Eastern Empire, the wisest and most just that could have been adopted. His Government marks the commencement of a better aera of English rule in India." From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
