Statue of Lord Mayo at Calcutta, unveiled by the Prince of Wales on New Year's Day, 1876. 'A part of the Prince's proceedings at Calcutta on New-Year's Day was...to unveil a statue of Lord Mayo...This statue, a colossal equestrian one, the work of Mr. Thornycroft, stands on the Maidan, near Government House. In the telegram of the day's doings given by "The Times" it is stated that several Rajahs were present, and that Mr. Bullen Smith read an address. The Prince expressed a melancholy satisfaction at unveiling the statue of one whom he had been proud to call his friend, and who would have left a great name among Indian Viceroys had he lived.
