Old Photograph Robert Burns Statue Paisley Scotland

Old photograph of the Robert Burns statue in Paisley by Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish statue was erected in 1896 to mark the centenary of the death of Robert Burns, Scotland’s National Bard. It was funded mainly by open air concerts given by the Tannahill Choir, who were working girls of Paisley; mill girls along with a few male singers, who were led by a succession of local conductors, usually local music teachers. The statue was designed by Frederick William Pomeroy, who was a prolific British sculptor of architectural and monumental works. Pomeroy's other architectural sculpture includes: Sheffield Town Hall, the figures of Truth, Fortitude and the Recording Angel at the Old Bailey, London, England, City Hall, Cardiff, Wales, Paisley Town Hall, the pediment of the City Hall in Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Street, London, extensive work at Liverpool John Moores University.
