Title
Dolphin lamp standard on Victoria Embankment
Description
A dolphin lamp standard at Victoria Embankment, Westminster, looking towards Waterloo Bridge. Two stylised dolphins or sturgeons writhe around the base of a standard lamp post, supporting a fluted column bearing electric lights in an opaque white globe, topped by a metal crown. The lamp posts were designed by George John Vulliamy and modelled by Charles Henry Driver, architect of the Victoria Embankment wall and river stairs. Vulliamy was superintending architect to the Metropolitan Board of Works and he also designed benches for the Embankment with cast iron ends in the form of sphinxes and camels, inspired by Cleopatra's Needle.
