Polished steel sculpture by Elmgreen and Dragset in Helsingør, Denmark.
Elmgreen & Dragset are noted for their underwritten references in a subvert, invert, pervert approach to their art. Han, means ‘him’ in Danish, a diminutive of the name John and a glancing reference to H. C. Andersen, shows a young man positioned on a stone by the seaside. The figure and the stone have been cast in polished stainless steel, created a distorting mirroring effect incorporating the surroundings. In contrast to the romanticized mythology of selfless mermaid, Han is a more narcissistic merboy, with visual over and undertones of iconic gay urchin and the myth of Narcissus, in love with his reflection, and allusions to the aesthetic of Derek Jarman’s film Sebastiane, which explores erotic desire between men. The sculpture has a trick element with a hydraulic mechanism, which will make the eyes of the sculpture blink for a split second once every hour in a Galatea moment of life. As a potential object of collective observation and veneration this is reminiscent of the miraculous tears and blood of weeping religious statues.

This is a photograph which has been taken by an amateur photographer and then developed and printed as a postcard. The location of the photograph is the roof of Ludgate House at 107-111, Fleet Street, EC4. It is situated at the corner of Fleet Street and Farringdon Street at the northwest quadrant of Ludgate Circus. Ludgate House was built in 1873 for Thomas Cook & Sons and was extended in 1906 when the group of winged Merboys were placed on the dome, but at the time of the photograph it had a mixed occupancy. The view is looking east towards St. Paul’s Cathedral up Ludgate Hill, the south tower of the west face of the Cathedral can be seen through the murk and the spire of another Wren church, St. Martin within Ludgate. Immediately below the figures is a bird’s eye view of the Ludgate Railway Bridge. The question is, what the devil are they doing on top of Ludgate House? There are a few clues on the reverse, written in pencil is the name of A. Hewett & Sons and the date 1931. The company was a printing company and had offices in the building, this may just be literally “High Jinks” or something to do with the obscure world of printers’ practices and apprentice initiations, but the three look too old to be apprentices. The company went bankrupt in late 1933, perhaps their employees were not doing the work. Ludgate House survived the blitz as did St. Martins and is now a Grade 1 listed building. If anyone knows or can shed light on what they were doing on the roof…
The Adventure of Rupert Bear - Created 93 Years Ago and Still Going Strong.
Rupert Bear is a children's comic strip character created by the English artist Mary Tourtel and first appearing in the Daily Express newspaper on 8 November 1920. Rupert's initial purpose was to win sales from the rival Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. In 1935, the mantle of Rupert artist and storyteller was taken over by Alfred Bestall, who was previously an illustrator for Punch and other glossy magazines. Bestall proved to be successful in the field of children's literature and worked on Rupert stories and artwork into his 90s. More recently, various other artists and writers have continued the series.
The comic strip was, and still is, published daily in the Daily Express, with many of these stories later being printed in books, and every year since 1936 a Rupert annual has also been released. Rupert Bear has become a well known character in children's culture in the United Kingdom, and the success of the Rupert stories has led to the creation of several television series based on the character. The character also has a large fan following, with such groups as The Followers of Rupert.
Rupert is a bear who lives with his parents in a house in Nutwood, a fictional idyllic English village. He is drawn wearing a red sweater and bright yellow checked trousers, with matching yellow scarf. Originally depicted as a brown bear, his colour soon changed to white to save on printing costs, though he remained brown on the covers of the annuals.
Most of the other characters in the series are also anthropomorphic animals (animals with humanoid forms). They are all scaled to be about the same size as Rupert, regardless of species. Rupert's animal friends are usually referred to as his "chums" or "pals". Aside from his best friend Bill Badger, some of the most enduring pals include an elephant (Edward Trunk), a mouse (Willie), Pong-Ping the Pekingese, Algy Pug (who actually pre-dates Rupert), Podgy Pig, Bingo the Brainy Pup, Freddie and Ferdy Fox, and Ming the dragon. The kindly Wise Old Goat also lives in Nutwood, and helps Rupert in some of his adventures. One of the most unusual and evocative characters is Raggety, a woodland troll-creature made from twigs, who is often very grumpy and annoying. In the 2006 television revival of the series, Raggety has been transformed into a friendly elf with broken English.
There are also a few human characters in the stories, such as the Professor (who lives in a castle with his servant), Tiger Lily (a Chinese girl), her father "the Conjuror", and several less frequently occurring characters such as Sailor Sam, Captain Binnacle and Rollo, the Gypsy boy. There is also a recurring Merboy.
The series often features fantastic and magical adventures in faraway lands. Each story begins in Nutwood, where Rupert usually sets out on a small errand for his mother or to visit a friend, and then develops into an adventure to an exotic place such as King Frost's Castle, the Kingdom of the Birds, underground, or to the bottom of the sea. Sometimes one of the Professor's inventions opens the door for one of Rupert's adventures. At the end of the story Rupert returns to Nutwood, where all is safe and well, and where his parents seem perfectly sanguine about his adventures.

Beatty Memorial Fountain (to Admiral of the Fleet David Richard Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty), Trafalgar Square, Westminster, London SW1 (<(part of a Grade II* listing). By William McMillan, 1948.
GOC Hertfordshire's walk on 12 November 2016, a 7.4-mile point-to-point walk to look at various artworks, statues and memorials in parts of the London Borough of Lambeth and City of Westminster in London, including Lambeth, Westminster, Belgravia and Hyde Park. John T led the walk, which was attended by 13 people in total (and a dog). You can view my other photos of this event, read the original event report, find out more about the Gay Outdoor Club or see my collections.
Each of the two fountains in the square has two statues featuring water creatures, mermaids, mermen, tritons and dolphins. According to several sources, they were created by Charles Wheeler and William McMillan, which seems a bit unlikely to me - particularly as they look very much in the style of Wheeler rather than McMillan. The statues were begun in 1935 and completed in 1939, but had to wait until 1947/8 to be installed. This one features a mermaid and (presumably) a merboy with particularly muscular arms. I think the small fishes on the body are a nice touch, adding to the idea that they’re underwater.
The water in the river is not yet warm. A wetsuit is required for the mermaid-tail test.

Another unusual feature is that rather than the legs being joined into one fishy tail, they're separate.

9/115: Mythological creature - the Merman
Mermen and sea creature sculpture made in 1948 by Sir Charles Wheeler in the Jellicoe Fountain in Trafalgar Square.
The smaller merman (merboy) stares open-mouthed, not least because he often has water gushing from his lips to augment the flow from the mouth of the dolphin.
