Historical Background
John Gibson, marble statue of William Huskisson, c. 1836.
Content Description
The writer, among much other personal matter, states that he had written to Mr Earle about the monument to
William Huskisson, to inform the committee on the monument that Gibson was too great a master of his art to condescend to compete by sketches with his inferiors.
Mr Rennie had declined to take part for the same reason.
