Statue of General Sir James Outram, for Calcutta, now in Waterloo-Place, by J. H. Foley, R.A., 1873. '...the bronze equestrian statue of Sir Jas. Outram is a work of unrivalled power and originality. The statue, which is considerably beyond lifesize, was executed for subscribers in India...in Calcutta... it will be placed opposite the Asiatic Society, and near the principal Government offices and clubs...Sir James Outram is heading an attack, or charge, and, finding himself too far in advance, violently reins back his horse's head...the General swings round till his right hand, with the hilt of the sabre, rests on the horse's quarter, and his face, which wears a most inspiriting expression, combining encouragement and command that will brook no hesitating obedience, looks towards the rear in the supposed direction of his men...the composition has incomparable spirit, power, and expressiveness...the leading characteristics of Sir James Outram, when in the field, were, as in this his statue, impetuous heroism and dashing horsemanship. We need hardly add that the modelling and execution of the group throughout are most conscientious and masterly...the statue has been cast in bronze by Messrs. R. Masefield and Co., of Manor-street, Chelsea'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
