A view of the Queen Victoria Statue outside Leinster House, Dublin, in about 1935. The bronze statue with three attendants, depicting Hibernia at War, Hibernia at Peace, and Fame, was designed by the Irish sculptor John Hughes and sat at the Kildare Street entrance to Leinster House (the seat of the Irish Parliament) from 1908 to 1948. Following its removal, it was stored in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. The statute was eventually re-erected in 1987 in front of the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, Australia.
