Photograph of Marochetti's sculpture, with the surrounding arcade beyond. Lady Bayley's note on the facing page reads: 'This marble statue 'The Angel of the Resurrection' was executed by Baron Marochetti from a design drawn by Lady Canning. The sculptor altered it by placing two branches of palms in the arms. The original drawing had only one and was more graceful. Lady Canning said 'the thought and hope of the Resurrection is the only thought can calm the sorrow or give any comfort' in connection with the awful catastrophe that happened here in 1857.'
