Atlante with a problem

He seems to be frowning over a problem - if he stoops to pick up the can, the building comes down.

 

Sculptor: William Mossman Junior, 1878, sandstone. The Mossman family dominated sculpture in Glasgow during the Victorian period. William Mossman (1824-84) studied under his father, William Mossman Senior (1793-1851), and also under Baron Carlo Marochetti.

 

The old and young giants stand sentry at the entrance of the Greek Revival St Andrew's Halls (Architect: James Sellars), used now as the main entrance to the Mitchell Library.
