Hyde Park, Archibald Fountain

The Archibald Fountain is an art deco style fountain in Hyde Park, designed by French artist Francois Sicard and unveiled on 14 March 1932. The fountain is named after J.F. Archibald, owner and editor of The Bulletin, a newspaper which later became a magazine that encouraged writers to write about Australia. He bequeathed funds to build it to commemorate the association of Australia and France in World War I. The fountain features mythological characters of ancient Greece. The central pedestal features a bronze sculpture of Apollo with the fan-like shape of water formed by jets rising behind it, representing the rising sun.

Today marks the twenty year anniversary of the first photo I posted on this blog which was also a photo of this fountain and can be seen here. To celebrate, I returned this week for another look at the fountain; this time with St Mary's Cathedral as a backdrop. A view at the ten year anniversay can be seen here.
