Légende

Statue of Robert Stephenson, in Euston-Square, [London], 1871. Sculpture of the British civil engineer and designer of locomotives, part of '...the improvements lately made in the Euston-square approach to the London and North-Western Railway Terminus...a statue of Mr. Robert Stephenson, the work of Baron Marochetti, has been erected, which is an interesting memorial of that distinguished railway engineer and an artistic ornament of North London. It was provided, for erection upon a site not then determined, by a testimonial subscription, raised some time after Mr. Robert Stephenson's death, in October, 1859, among the professional engineers of this country and of France, and many other persons associated with him, in different parts of the world, in the construction of railways and other public works...it has been thought...appropriate, on the invitation of the London and North-Western Railway Company, to put the figure of Robert Stephenson in front of the metropolitan station and general offices of that noble concern'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
