Introduction - to be enlarged upon in due course.

The three blogs are primarily a series of photographic essays with detailed information - individual sculptors’ biographies and up to date list of works illustrated with photographs (the authors photography if possible) and paintings and engravings.

It is important that the illustrations are good – something missing in recent works on the subject.

My approach is using more candid photographs rather than those taken in the studio using artificial lighting.


Reasons for publication of the blogs, the William Seward bust of Alexander Pope - its dismissal as 19th century by .

I have touched on the works of Sir Henry Cheere in various posts – but I need to have a serious look at him. It is my belief that he did very little of the sculpting himself but left the work to his large workshop or subcontracted.

Isaac Ware’s, father in law, James Richards, was Master Carver to the Office of Works. James Lovell.

John Cheere (1709 – 87).  

A much underrated sculptor and the originator of mass production of small and large scale sculptures in lead and plaster.

The intention is to post a separate series of essays on the life and works of John Cheere in due course.

The lead sculpture program by Cheere at the Royal Palace at Queluz, Portugal.

There is currently no up to date biography of Cheere – The Man at Hyde Park Corner is a good starting point but long out of date.
