Postcard view of the statue of the Black Prince in City Square. Sculpted by Thomas Brock, the Prince sits on horseback atop a granite pedestal. Edward the Black Prince (1330-76) was the eldest son of Edward III and was noted from his military prowess having undertaken successful campaigns in Crecy and Poitiers. This is demonstrated by the bronze relief panels on the pedestal which depict scenes from land and sea battles. Groups of people are gathered on either side of the statue. Priestley Hall (left) and Mill Hill Chapel (right) are in the background. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | City Square statue Black Prince | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
