'London Statues: a guide to London's outdoor statues and sculpture' by Arthur Byron.
When this was published in 1981 Arthur Byron wrote 'Statues have increased in number in recent times, and many have been moved to new sites; but it is sculpture that has multiplied ten times since the First War'.
The project I've set myself is to visit as many of these as I can, take photos and make notes, then publish both here. I'd like to notice statues more - they are after all there for a purpose. I'd like to find out more about the public art of the time too, and see what's happened to the ratio Byron observed.
