JOHN THOMAS (1813-1862) UNDER THE DIRECTION OF SIR CHARLES BARRY (1795-1860) AN ANSTON STONE STATUE OF QUEEN VICTORIA holding an orb, the reverse with a bronze fixing and inscribed "Southwick", 68" high. See illustration Provenance: The Houses of Parliament The Gladstone Family at Moortown House, Ringwood, Hampshire. Private collection, Hampshire. John Thomas (1813-1862) was Superintendent of Stone-Carving at the Houses of Parliament (cf. MH Port: "The Houses of Parliament", published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art 1976, pg. 243, pl. 164. for a reproduction of the wash drawing for the statue of Queen Victoria by John Thomas). It was under his supervision that the Gothic-style statues for the exterior of the building were supplied by the Thames Bank Workshop. On pg. 245 of the same volume, Port states: "It is impossible to make out individual contributors to the architectural sculpture", but from this inscribed example it would appear that Southwick was one of them. John Thomas was born in Gloucestershire and his earliest employment in that locality was restoring the lettering and sometimes the sculptural decoration of gravestones, which gave him experience in an important area of Perpendicular Churches. A visit to Oxford focused his attention more specifically on drawing architectural details correctly and developing skill and knowledge as a carver. Then at Birmingham, where his brother was an architect, he worked on a number of large buildings including Barry's King Edward VI Grammar School and it was as a result of his competence in Gothic detailing that he came to Barry's notice. Although Thomas was not officially appointed Superintendent of Stone-Carving at Westminster until 1846, Barry probably engaged him soon after the completion of the Birmingham school and on 13th May 1841 the Office of Works approved Barry's arrangement with Thomas for the stone-carving. Barry's own contribution to the design of the sculptural programme cannot be in much doubt. He would undoubtedly have drawn up the overall plan subsequently delegating certain specific areas to qualified specialists. Precise dating for the various elements of the sculptural programme is not easy. Specific contemporary references to the sculpture are rare and often incidental, but it is possible to propose an outline chronology. Ryde's "Illustrations" of 1849 shows this statue flanked by Justice and Mercy and writes of the sculpture of the porch as if it were in situ. In an illustration of the State Opening of Parliament in 1852 the figures are shown in position.
