Sculpture: Edward Onslow Ford: A bronze figure of Peace signed E Onslow Ford, London 1889 and published by Arthur Collie 39B Old Bond Street, London May 8th 1890 on green marble base, mid brown patination 62cm.; 24½ins high Born Islington, London, Onslow Ford originally trained as a painter at Antwerp Academy, 1870, but turned to sculpture while studying at Munich, 1871-4. Amongst his many public commissions are the statues to General Gordon, Chatham (1890, repeated at Khartoum, 1904) and Queen Victoria, Manchester (1901). A close associate of Alfred Gilbert (1854-1934), and a contributor to the New Sculpture movement, he exhibited busts, statuettes and genre pieces at the RA from 1875, and was elected ARA, 1888, and RA, 1895. One of his series of Ideal nudes, Onslow Ford’s full-size plaster of Peace was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1887 (no. 1944), where it was considered by the critic Edmund Gosse to be "the most delightful contribution to the exhibition". Three years later a life-size bronze was shown (now in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool). In Gosse’s 1895 article in Magazine of Art, entitled "Sculpture in the House", Peace was illustrated alongside statuettes by Leighton and Thornycroft in domestic settings, and was subsequently one of Ford’s first works to be cast by Arthur L. Collie as in this example.
