Joseph Lister Memorial, Bronze and granite memorial in Portland Place, Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Joseph Lister Memorial features a bronze bust set against grey Aberdeen granite with figures of a woman and boy holding flower garlands.
Thomas Brock created this Grade II listed memorial in 1928 to honor Joseph Lister's revolutionary contributions to antiseptic surgical procedures and medical practices.
The memorial stands among numerous public artworks in St Marylebone, representing British medical advancement through architectural expression and sculptural detail.
