The statue, which depicts St George astride his horse, armed with a large spear and inflicting the death blow on a &ldquo;very substantial reptile, neither a griffon nor a wyvern, but partaking strongly of the nature of an iguana&rdquo;, was displayed in the Great Hall during the 1888 International Exhibition in Melbourne. The article&rsquo;s praise for this work stands in contradiction to former criticisms of the sculpture from the likes of Edmund Grosse for lacking &lsquo;largeness&rsquo; and for being overly poetic and idealised (See Andrew Lynch, &ldquo;&lsquo;Thingless names&rsquo;? The St George Legend in Australia&rdquo;, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: <a href="http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html" target="_blank">http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html</a>). The author of the article suggests that although &ldquo;strict probabilities&rdquo; had not been observed, the sculpture was to be commended for its aesthetically pleasing depiction of a combat between good and evil.<br /> Boehm&rsquo;s statue of St George and the Dragon was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of &pound;1000 following the Exhibition. It was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889 where, after some slight repositioning to accommodate Fr&eacute;miet&rsquo;s Jeanne d&rsquo;Arc in 1907, it still stands.

About Christ Church, Claremont: Christ Church is an Anglican Church located in Claremont, Western Australia. It was designed by Perth architect J. J. Talbot Hobbs and built in a Gothic Revival style. The foundation stone was laid on 10 September 1892, and the original church building (consisting of the Sanctuary and the eastern four bays of the nave) was completed in February 1893.

The Claremont Campus building was constructed in 1901 and originally housed the Claremont Teacher’s College. It was then home to the Western Australian College of Advanced Education from 1981 and was a campus of Edith Cowan University before being purchased by The University of Western Australia in 2004. At the roof of the façade and along the top of the oriel window, crenellation has been used for decorative effect. Crenellation was an architectural feature commonly employed in medieval castles and military structures. Cut into parapets, it provided both openings through which weapons could be fired (the embrasures) and raised sections of stone to protect from oncoming fire and obscure visibility (the merlons). The depressed arch around the main door and rectangular hood moulding is also characteristic of late gothic architecture of the fifteenth century.

In deciding to adopt the full title Western Australia followed an example that had been set by Tasmania, Queensland and New South Wales. Victoria, in contrast, opted to shorten the title to “Usher”, while South Australia dispensed with it altogether and addressed the corresponding official by the title “Sergeant-at-Arms”. The continued use of the full title in four of the six Australian parliaments, the article suggests, “is an instance of that devotion to old institutions which even in these days of all manner of change is a very pronounced English characteristic”. The prestige accompanying the office of the Usher of the Black Rod dates from the attachment of the original Usher to the Knights of the Garter, the highest order of English sovereigns.
