Edward VII takes a close look at Liverpool Pier Head

            Edward VII,” by Sir William Goscombe John, 1860-1952. 1916; restored 2008. Bronze on a granite pedestal, on the Pier Head, Liverpool — though originally intended to stand on a podium at the south end of St George's Hall. This sturdy sculpture shows the King seated on horseback in a resolute but relaxed pose, with his horse reined in.

The horse's stance, with arched neck and curved-in tail, is particularly characterful. When the bronze was restored, not only dirt but also layers of protective black and yellow paint and even car primer had to be removed from it. These bear witness to earlier efforts to preserve the sculpture in its unusually exposed waterfront location.
