The inserted image shows plans for a monument, that has now been realized.

I have let myself wander down the wrong path before and convinced myself the solution must be at the end of that path. But I don't think I've ever spent so much time trying to force the solution to meet my thought process. If anyone has questions about the transatlantic cable (fooled by the poster on the right) and Queen Victoria's first message to President James Buchanan on 16 August 1858, let me know!

Thanks for the clue, bridgeplayer. I feel quite silly now!
