Edward VII Monument, Bronze statue in Phillips Square, Montreal, Canada

The Edward VII Monument features a central bronze figure of the king wearing ceremonial robes, with four allegorical figures positioned at its base.

The monument was unveiled on October 1, 1914, by Governor General Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, during a large public ceremony.

The western section of the monument depicts the four founding nationalities of Montreal - French, Scottish, Irish, and English through sculptural representations.

Located in the heart of downtown Montreal, the 14-meter tall monument stands as a central point of reference in Phillips Square.

The Peace figure at the front holds an olive branch while concealing a sword within the folds of her dress, representing dual aspects.
