Locals refer to the monument in Queen Square as the "Man on the Oss," although it is really a sculpture of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert. It was created on Her Majesty's orders in 1886, and the installation of the statue was her first public appearance following her husband's death. A great crowd turned out to see the new queen move into Buckingham Palace; they also saw the display which now occupies the center of the square. The statue is by the British artist Joseph Boehm. It shows Prince Albert in military uniform with his hand on a book representing the New Testament and his other arm raised in a gesture of peace. The inscription below the statue says that it is a copy of a bronze originally cast for the town hall in Dresden but taken back after World War II when it was discovered that the original had been looted by the Nazis. The statue has been called "the best-known monument in Wolverhampton" and it certainly is one of the city's landmarks. It is worth visiting even if you are not that interested in history as it does play an important part in local culture thanks to its presence in several photographs taken during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The statue has also been used as a setting for some scenes in the movie Shakespeare Wallah! There are two versions of how the prince died.
