295 x 241 mm. A view looking across Church Square at the junction of High Street with Bathurst Street. In the foreground crowds of spectators are gathered round the raised podium from which Sir Walter Hely-Hutchinson (Governor of Cape Colony 1901-10) surrounded by civic dignitaries, is giving the opening speech. Behind this group is the statue itself and in the background commercial premises on whose flat roofs are more spectators. The Town Hall and Settler's Tower are visible at the extreme left.
