Statute

Statute

At the entrance to the Norwich Union building on Surrey Street, there are two statues flanking the grand edifice. They are; William Talbot (on the left) and Sir Samuel Bignold (centre). They were both sculpted by Mons. L. Chavalliaud, at the beginning of the 20th century. I have photographed a detailed section of the statues, as you can see; I liked the folds and books, and the shadows cast by their relief. The right hand segment is an egg box I had photographed previously. It was a cardboard composite pressed tray for six eggs. I flattened it (when it was empty) by standing on it. As usual, it was introduced into the collage, after looking through my library. I thought the image complimented the statues by colour, texture, shape and lighting. I titled the picture because of the portfolio business files you can see, signifying the gentleman’s office and stature.
