EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the statue "Morning Star" by Edward Hodges Baily, created in 1856 for the Egyptian Hall in the Mansion House, London. The commission for "poetic statues in marble" was intended to enhance the architectural beauty of George Dance's building, with the Egyptian Hall surpassing the most beautiful public or private buildings in London in terms of sculptural decoration. The architectural specifications necessitated the creation of standing statues. Baily, a renowned British sculptor and Royal Academician, is depicted here in this black and white image, expertly capturing the essence of the "Morning Star" statue. The female figure, gesturing gracefully, adds to Baily's well-deserved reputation. The statue, with its intricate details and lifelike quality, is a testament to the artist's skill and artistry. The Egyptian Hall, a significant cultural landmark, was home to the finest collections of antiquities and works of art during the 19th century. This photograph print, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of the statue and the Egyptian Hall. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to captivate audiences and remains an important piece of historical and artistic significance.
