THE INTERNATIONAL 
thndwr 
IN OXYDIZED SILYEE. 
of Peace 
figure of 
Standing 
HIS important work of art is ex- 
hibited by the kind permission of its 
Trustees, and has already acquired 
some historical interest, having been 
competed for at Wimbledon, in all, 
ten times, by the picked Volunteer 
shots of the three Kingdoms, and won 
with varying fortunes by England 
and Scotland. 
The general design is allegorical 
and War. Peace is symbolized by a 
Minerva bearing the olive branch and 
in a car drawn by oxen wreathed with 
garlands of flowers, while War is symbolized by 
the god Mars in a chariot, to which are har- 
nessed fiery steeds. A great number of other 
groups and figures are introduced to illustrate and 
complete the dominant idea of the composition, 
which is made still plainer by the mottoes inscribed 
on the pedestal— 
“ SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM,” 
And— 
“DEFENCE, NOT DEFIANCE.” 
The style is Neo Grec, and the design is by A. 
Willms, the artist at the head of Elkington & Co.’s 
staff of designers and modellers at Birmingham.
