Lodge, Nevile Sidney 1918-1989 :Monarch of Carisbrook. 1965
- Date
- 1965
- Reference
- B-137-287
- Description
Shows a springbok (deer) standing triumphantly on the chest of an Otago rugby player while a bagpipe player in Scottish tartan costume plays his pipes sadly with the tune "The flowers of the forest" (a lament for defeat in a battle). In the background a member of the Junior All Blacks looks on keenly, waiting for his chance to face the Springbooks.
The title "Monarch of Carisbrook" is perhaps suggested by the Scottish-related painting by Edward Landseer, "Monarch of the Glen" showing a deer in triumphant pose.
