# Monument to Taras Shevchenko (Baku)

The Monument to Taras Shevchenko (Azerbaijani: Taras Şevçenkonun heykəli) is a monument to the Ukrainian poet and writer Taras Shevchenko raised in the capital of Azerbaijan, the city of Baku. The author of the monument is the Ukrainian sculptor Igor Grechanik.

## History

The idea of making the monument belongs to a group of authors led by the Ukrainian sculptor Igor Grechanik. This bronze monument differs from many other monuments to Taras Shevchenko, in particular from those of the Soviet era. The authors of the sculpture moved away from the traditional image of the poet and presented him being young. This is how Shevchenko looked when he wrote his book "Kobzar" (the first edition came out when he was 26 years old), which was also depicted on the monument.
The square on which the monument was raised was completely reconstructed by the Baku City Hall according to the project of the Baku architect, Goncha Manafova, and Akif Abdulaev, the chief architect of Baku. The creation and delivery of the monument to the city was fully financed by the philanthropist Sergei Bondarchuk.
The monument was inaugurated on 30 June 2008. The opening ceremony was attended by the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko.

## Description

The monument is made of bronze, making 3.5 meters high. Taras Shevchenko is captured young and transmitting to people his work - "Kobzar", and is illuminated by the wing of God's gift of inspiration and the spiritual take-off. Here he acts as "the prophet of the Ukrainian nation who gave to the people the word of truth". On the reverse side, the monument resembles a willow tree with roots - the personification of Ukraine and the folk source - the origins of Taras Shevchenko.

# Joe Dransfield

Joseph Dransfield (1827 – 21 September 1906) was the Mayor of Wellington, New Zealand, from 1870 to 1872. He was the first mayor of the reconstituted Wellington City since William Guyton was (briefly) mayor of the previous Wellington Borough in 1843.

## Background

Dransfield was born Huddersfield, Yorkshire, in 1827, where his father, also Joseph, was the owner of the Rookery Woollen Mills. He was educated in Huddersfield and migrated to Australia in 1852 on the Falcon when he was 25 years old before coming to Wellington in 1857. His mother and father also settled in New Zealand living for a time in Lyttelton. He was married and had several sons and daughters.
Dransfield's brother, C. E. Dransfield, was already in Wellington when he arrived and had established a general merchant business, which Dransfield eventually took over. They were major coal merchants into the 1860s, with supply contracts for the New Zealand Steam Navigation Company, and M'Meckan Blackwood's fleets. From 1878 to 1879 he was president of the chamber of commerce, having been a member for a number of years. Dransfield carried on in business until ill health forced his retirement in 1888. He sold out the goodwill and business to the United Importers Company.

## Civic roles

In 1842 Wellington had been declared a borough and elected its own mayor. In 1843, while William Guyton was mayor, the British Government declared the legislation that founded the borough invalid and disbanded the local government there. For the period from 1843 to 1863 Wellington had no local authority. In 1863 legislation under the provincial government allowed a town board to be set up. This was followed by legislation that allowed the establishment of the Wellington City Council in 1870.
Dransfield became mayor in 1870 after Wellington was declared a city. He was mayor again in 1878, but resigned on 9 May 1879. He had previously been chairman of the town board from 1865 to 1870, and represented Wellington City in the Wellington Provincial Council from 1863 to 1867. He was noted as securing one of Wellington's more important reclamations.
Dransfield Street in Vogeltown is named after him. Dransfield died at Wellington on 21 September 1906.
