For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Sketch, November 29th, 1899," showing a Photograph for the "Statue of Oliver Cromwell Facing Westminster Hall."

Lord Rosebery has had his way, after all, and presented a superb statue of the great protector to parliament. It faces Westminster Hall.  Mr. Hamo Thornycroft, the sculptor, has been peculiarly successful, not only in giving a good likeness, but in presenting the character of Cromwell.  The statue was cast by Messrs. J. W. Singer and Sons, the old-established firm at Frome responsible for most of the great statues which have been lately before the public.  The whole work reflects the greatest credit on all concerned, although it could have been wished that the lion at the base had been a little more majestic.  The Earl of Rosebery's eloquent oration at the Queen's Hall on the life-work of Cromwell fittingly commemorated the unveiling of this impressive memorial of the great dictator.

Condition is Very Good.
