Inauguration of the memorial statue to Mr. Herbert Ingram, M.P.…Boston, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Inauguration of the memorial statue to Mr. Herbert Ingram, M.P. in the Market-Place, Boston, [in Lincolnshire], 1862. View of the...ceremony of uncovering the Ingram Memorial Statue, from photographs by Mr. E. Hackford...The statue stands...within the shadow of the fine old church...Boston kept high holiday...most of the shops were closed, whilst the windows of the houses were thronged by eager spectators. The...committee and invited guests met the local authorities at the Assembly Rooms, and walked thence, in procession to the site of the statue. In the Marketplace had been erected a platform, on which the Mayor and Corporation and the principal members of the procession were accommodated, the ground in front being kept by the volunteers. The Market-place and every window commanding a view of the ceremony were crowded with spectators. Mr. Parry, of Sleaford, on behalf of the committee, handed over the statue to the town authorities, and at the close of his eloquent address the Mayor replied in a few well-chosen words...The ligature confining the covering of the statue was then loosened; and at the signal given (the discharge of a gun), the veil fell, disclosing Mr Munro's noble work of art, amid the cheers of the vast assemblage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the momentous occasion of the inauguration of the memorial statue to Mr. Herbert Ingram, M.P., in the Market-Place of Boston, Lincolnshire, in 1862. The image, taken by E. Hackford, shows the ceremony of uncovering the Ingram Memorial Statue, surrounded by the bustling crowd and the fine old church in the background. The day was kept as a high holiday in Boston, with most shops closed and houses filled with eager spectators. The committee and invited guests gathered at the Assembly Rooms before proceeding to the site of the statue in a grand procession. A platform was erected in the Marketplace for the Mayor and Corporation and other distinguished guests, while volunteers kept the ground in front clear. The windows overlooking the ceremony were packed with onlookers. Mr. Parry, representing the committee, handed over the statue to the town authorities, delivering an eloquent address. The Mayor responded with a few well-chosen words before the ligature securing the covering was removed. With the discharge of a gun, the veil fell, revealing Munro's magnificent work of art to the cheers of the vast assembly. This photograph is a testament to the community's pride and admiration for their esteemed representative, Mr. Herbert Ingram.
