TitleModelling tools of Francis John Williamson and photographs of his sculpture
Datec.1860-1920
DescriptionThe majority of the ninety-four photographs are albumen prints mounted on board and record Williamson's work. These range from ideal and religious subjects to numerous portrait busts and memorials. There are also photographs of sketch models for Lord Byron and Robert Burns. Although there are photographs of a statue of Queen Victoria made for the Royal College of Physicians, London, 1887, and a plaque of the Queen, his extensive work for the Royal family is not otherwise represented. On the mounts of the photographs the subject and sometimes the date and location of the sculpture have been identified with manuscript annotations. There is a portrait photograph of Williamson and another of Dean Wellesby who was one of his subjects. There are also six modelling tools used by Williamson.
