Description
English: Statue of Emmeline Pankhurst, Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster, London. Westminster Abbey Palace of Westminster in background left. The statue is marked on the back left "A. B. Burton, Founder" and on the back right "Walker, A.R.A. 1930".

The statue originally stood alone. (See e.g. this old photo.) It was unveiled on March 6, 1930 by Stanley Baldwin, and Ethel Smyth conducted the metropolitan police band, playing The March of the Women. The statue was originally located further south in Victoria Tower Gardens; it was moved to its present location in 1956.

The half-rotunda with a medallion of Christabel Pankhurst on the right and a replica of a WSPU prisoners' badge on the left was added in 1959. That part of the memorial is known as the "Dame Christabel Pankhurst Memorial". It was unveiled on July 13, 1959 by David Maxwell Fyfe. See also Nelson, C. C.

Copyright warning: The subject of this image is believed to be protected by copyright.

It is believed that the taking, uploading and reuse of this derivative work is permitted under the copyright law of the country in which the photograph was taken, possibly with some restrictions, because the subject was permanently located in a public place. In Germany, this exception is known as Panoramafreiheit; many other countries have similar exceptions which are referred to on Commons by the generic term freedom of panorama.

Freedom of panorama does not apply in all countries, and often applies only to photographs of buildings that are permanently located in a public place. In some countries the freedom may apply more broadly. It may or may not extend to sculptures and/or to subjects that are not in a "public place" but are in a "place to which the public has access". The allowed usage of this picture, if any, depends upon the laws of the country of creation, and may also depend on the laws of the country in which the derived image is to be used. See Commons:Freedom of panorama for a country by country list.
