EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the 19th century, showcases the Statue of Selden located in St. Stephen's Hall of the Palace of Westminster in London. The statue, created by renowned British sculptor John Henry Foley, was one of a series commissioned to honor distinguished figures of the past. John Selden, the subject of this magnificent work, was a 17th-century English jurist, scholar of laws and constitution, and an antiquary. His statue stands tall and dignified, a testament to his intellectual prowess and enduring legacy. The sculpture captures Selden's likeness with remarkable precision, his head displaying a thoughtful and expressive countenance. The costume, authentically rendered, transports us back in time to Selden's era. The full-length statue shows Selden in a gesturing pose, his right hand extended, inviting us to engage with his wisdom and insights. The intricate details of the stonework, visible in this high-quality print, attest to the masterful craftsmanship of Foley. This photograph, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, offers a glimpse into the rich history of British political and artistic heritage.
