Inauguration of the Statue of Sir Isaac Newton at Grantham, 1858. Creator: Unknown.

Inauguration of the Statue of Sir Isaac Newton at Grantham, 1858. 'The statue of the great mathematician and astronomer, from the hand of W. Theed, Esq...[was erected] at Grantham, Lincolnshire, near which town Newton was born, and in which he received the rudiments of his education...[It] was inaugurated...with great ceremony, and in the midst of a vast concourse of persons, including many men of science from all parts of the country...the covering, which till now hid the statue from view, was withdrawn, and a chorus of cheers burst from the assemblage. The noble statue stood out in the bright sunshine in all its elegant proportions, and its character and expression were the theme of general admiration. When the cheering attendant upon the withdrawal of the covering from the statue had subsided, Lord Brougham delivered a magnificent oration...The Mayor then presented to the noble Chairman, on behalf of the subscribers, a beautifully-bound copy of Newton's "Principia"...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
