George Dubois is not Bolesław Syrewicz

Latest comment: 2 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

George Dubois has not "produced" the bust of Frédéric Chopin that since 1999 has been exposed - and still is exposed - in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. The original bust created by George Dubois in 1900 has been melted down in 1942 in order to produce bullets. The Polish government offered a replica of another bust, created in 1872 by the Polish sculptor Bolesław Syrewicz (1835-1899). In 1999 the Syrewicz-bust replaced the original Dubois-bust. The relevant information can be found in footnote 2.

Needless to say, the photo is also totally wrong. And again, footnote 2 shows the correct image.

In the past I have contributed to the English Wikipedia as User:Theobald Tiger. I am blocked indefinitely because your admins think I am no good. Perhaps your admins should block this IP address as soon as possible to avoid more damage to the encyclopedia in the future.

Updated. You could have updated it yourself, as the article isn't page protected. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:53, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. The photo caption is still erroneous. (I will not edit the English Wikipedia as long as my account is indefinitely blocked from editing for foolish reasons. Neither shall I apologize for what I did in the past - what I always have done is to serve encyclopedic interests.) 94.157.168.181 (talk) 11:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
