EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the statue of "Timon" by Frederick Thrupp, installed in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House in London, 1856. The creator of the photograph is unknown. The Egyptian Hall was adorned with poetic statues in marble as part of a commission for the Lord Mayor of London, with the intention of enhancing the architectural beauty of George Dance's building. The architectural specifications of the Hall necessitated standing statues. This full-length statue of Timon, a tragic character from Shakespeare's play, adds to the grandeur of the Hall. The Illustrated London News reported in 1856 that the Egyptian Hall, with its sculptural decoration, would surpass the most beautiful public or private buildings in London. This photograph, with its intricate details, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of 19th century Britain.
