Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) THE MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN IN PARK LANE. This ornamental fountain, situated some twenty yards to the north of the point where Park Lane and Hamilton Place meet, was erected under peculiar, if not unique, circumstances. It was built, at a cost of £5,000 out of the property of a lady who died intestate and whose wealth came into the possession of the Government. She had often advocated the erection of a fountain here, and, the money being thus available, it was decided in 1875 to give effect to her wishes. The design of the sculptor, Mr. Thomas Thornycroft, is much admired for its ingenuity and beauty. It consists ot a group of heroic-sized marble statues of three great English Poets on a columnar pedestal, with three bronze figures of Muses below: Shakespeare between the muses of Comedy and Tragedy; Milton between Tragedy and History; Chaucer between History and Comedy; while on the summit is poised a gilded bronze winged figure of Fame.
