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 .
