Marble Statue of Sir John Jones in St. Paul's Cathedral. 1847.

For Sale is an Engraving with Descriptive Text removed from "The Illustrated London news, November 6th, 1847," showing a "New Statue in St. Paul's Cathedral : Marble Statue of Sir John Jones."

A Fine marble statue, from the chisel of Mr. Behnes, has just been erected in the south transept of St. Paul's Cathedral, not far from the monument to Lord Howe. The new statue is the vera effigies of Major-General Sir John Thomas Jones R.E., a distinguished officer in the Peninsular war, and known to civilians, as well as military men, by his valuable "Journal of the Sieges in Spain, 1811-13."
The Statue will add to the fame of Mr. Behnes, the Sculptor : there is an intellectual vigour in the head ; the attitude is easy, and not ungraceful; and the minor points of costume have been attended to.

Condition is Very Good.
