Young Bull and Herdsman
The statue in this photograph, Young Bull and Herdsman, was crafted from Sicilian marble in 1887 by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm.
Originally displayed at Royal Academy in London, the Young Bull and Herdsman was brought to Melbourne for the 1888 Centennial Exhibition. It then called the National Gallery of Victoria home until 1941, when it was gifted to Melbourne Royal. A symbol of Melbourne Royal's commitment to guiding and supporting agriculture in Victoria, these days the statue greets visitors to the Melbourne Royal office, and keeps a watchful eye on the Adventure Carnival.
