Summary

Botanical Gardens, Adelaide. This photograph shows a man looking at the well- tended flower beds in the Botanic Gardens in the 1890's. Hooped railings surround the beds and depict the pathways through the gardens. The Amazon statue can be seen in the background sitting upon its plinth. This depicts the goddess on horseback defending herself from a tiger by using a spear. Local residents organised a public subscription in 1867 to raise funds for two new statues, one of which was The Amazon.
