This bronze was cast from the plaster original in 1987. It was originally sculpted by Frank Dobson (1886-1963) and commissioned for the Festival of Britain in 1951. His wife, Mary, gave the bronze in 1987 and it was placed here.
There is a plaque set into the walkway next to it, but when I visited it was covered several inches in snow, it reads:
"London Pride" Frank Dobson (1886-1963). Commissioned for The Festival Of Britain 1951. Given by Mary Dobson 1987 and placed on the South Bank. Assisted generously by Lynton Property & Reversionary Plc and The Henry Moore Foundation. Arts Council Of Great Britain.
