The figure
No. 248 is a reproduction of the famous Belgian Boy one block from the Grand Hotel in the
heart of Brussels.As the story of the Belgian Boy goes, this little child was the son of
the town mayor and was lost for three days. The
entire town turned out to search for him with no success in finding him. At the end of the third day, the little boy was
discovered standing on the exact street corner, wearing no clothes, and doing what he is
appearing to do. The townspeople were so
overjoyed that the child was found, they commissioned Belgiums finest sculptor to
model the child exactly as he was found. Thus
creating this famous fountain. |
