EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable maquette for the statue of William Ewart Gladstone, located on The Strand in London. Created by the talented sculptor William Hamo Thornycroft around 1905, this plaster model stands at an impressive 39x17x15 cm. The maquette captures Gladstone in all his glory, dressed in ceremonial attire befitting a statesman of his stature. Standing tall with hands clasped together, he exudes confidence and wisdom. Despite his elderly appearance, there is an undeniable air of strength and determination about him. Gladstone's Victorian-era charm is evident through his distinguished features and traditional gown. As a prominent liberal leader and former Prime Minister of Britain, he played a significant role in shaping British politics during the 19th century. This exquisite maquette offers us a glimpse into the meticulous study that went into creating the final statue that now graces The Strand. It serves as both a testament to Thornycroft's artistic skill and Gladstone's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most influential politicians. Displayed within Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Leeds City Museum), this historic piece holds immense cultural value. Its presence reminds us of Gladstone's contributions to society while also celebrating the artistry behind its creation.
