Queen Victoria's Dowdy Silhouette

Written by on March 26, 2009 · 4 Comments

I saw this statue in Penang too late in the afternoon to get a decent photo with a pocket camera. There could be no mistaking from the silhouette who it was though.

Queen Victoria Statue

Queen Vic has a distinct plumpness that you would think was a charicature if it wasn’t actually the true facsimilie. The only other statue I recall being so easily spotted from a distance are the Gandhi statues that can be found all over India.

    Looks much like her statue in Windsor outside the castle, and the one at Kensington Palace.

    I think it’s that wee little crown atop her head that adds to her plumpness!!!

    Bless. ;-)

    I think they must have used the same cast around the world because they always look the same. It’s amazing all the little parks around the world you run into her.

    Hi Sheila, the statue is near the corner of Burmah Road and Pangkor Road.

      Thanks very much James!

      I know my father’s workplace was around there somewhere which is why I asked. I was only a small child at the time….
