Lovely little statue... With a lovely history
The Legend of Islay的点评
点评：The sculpture is a 60 centimetre bronze statue of a Queen Victoria's favourite pet, a Cairn terrier named Islay. The statue is propped up on a sandstone wishing well outside the Queen Victoria Building, George St, Sydney.
Islay was Queen Victoria’s much loved companion for only 5 years because he became involved in a dispute with a cat and it was Islay that died. Queen Victoria recorded: `My faithful little companion of more than five years, always with me’
The Legend of Islay
Islay was a favourite pet of Queen Victoria. Whenever he saw the royal mistress he would sit up and beg for a biscuit. He was often sketched and painted both by Queen Victoria and Sir Edwin Landseer, her painting master. The bronze sculpture by Justin Robson was modelled from a sketch drawn by Queen Victoria in 1842. Now over a century later, Islay is begging hopefully for a coin to help deaf and blind children of New South Wales.
Islay died 26th April 1844 and buried in Adelaide Cottage, Windsor Castle.

翻译：这座雕塑是维多利亚女王最钟爱的宠物——一只名叫艾莱的凯恩梗犬，高60厘米，青铜雕塑。它被支撑在悉尼乔治街维多利亚女王大厦外的一口砂岩许愿井上。
艾莱作为维多利亚女王最钟爱的伴侣，只陪伴了她五年，因为它与一只猫发生了争执，最终死去的是它。维多利亚女王曾写道：“我忠实的小伙伴，陪伴我超过五年，它一直陪伴着我。”
艾莱的传说
艾莱是维多利亚女王最钟爱的宠物。每当它见到女王，它就会坐起来乞求一块饼干。维多利亚女王和她的绘画大师埃德温·兰西尔爵士经常为它绘制速写和肖像。这座由贾斯汀·罗布森创作的青铜雕塑，原型是维多利亚女王于1842年绘制的速写。一个多世纪后的今天，艾莱满怀希望地乞求一枚硬币，以帮助新南威尔士州的聋哑儿童。
艾莱于 1844 年 4 月 26 日去世，葬于温莎城堡的阿德莱德小屋。
