Lot Essay

The statue in the foreground of In Knightsbridge is of Lord Strathnairn. Erected in 1895 and removed in 1931 during work on the London underground, the statue was later sold in 1964 by the Westminster Council to Vernon E. Northcott, on whose estate at Foley Manor in Liphook it is still displayed.
