The statue in 2011
The bronze statue of Charles James Napier by sculptor George Gamon Adams is located in Trafalgar Square in London, United Kingdom.[1] Its inscription states that Napier was "born in MDCCLXXXII and died LXXI years later in MDCCCLIII".[2]
In 2012, the statue wore a translucent hat designed by Sophie Beale for Hatwalk, a visual series conceived by London mayor Boris Johnson. The hat's design was "meant to represent [Napier's] galleon tossed on the high seas".[3][4]
