| That is a very very cool relief you choose for the Imperator title, Boru. what is it from? I was thinking Napoleanic, but when I examined it closer, the general on the horse looks like Washington. i know it isn't because the rest of the relief doesn't look Revolutionary War. | |

| this relief is Sculptor: Baron Carlo Marochetti, 1844. Founder: de Braux.
Plinth the statue of the Duke of Wellington, Queen Street, Glasgow.
Bronze panel on the south side of the plinth, with the Duke of Wellington on horseback in the centre. On the far right, a surgeon is at work.
As a result of the need to treat the wounded during the Napoleonic Wars, medical training had expanded in Glasgow. Indeed, a few minutes walk from this statue down Ingram Street you can still see graves surrounded by the iron cages intended to protect them from the body snatchers satisying the demands of Glasgow's anatomy schools. | |
