Hyland & Co, Chicago, 1898, includes a photograph of Grinling Gibbons’ equestrian statue with the comment, ‘This equestrian statue of William III stands in College Green, and has stood there, more or less, since A.D 1701. We say “more or less” because no statue in the world, perhaps, has been subject to so many vicissitudes. It has been insulted, mutilated and blown up so many times, that the original figure, never particularly graceful, is now a battered wreck, pieced and patched together, like an old, worn out garment.’ Estimate €80-€120 (approx £70-£110) Click Here for Large Images & To Bid 64
