EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of Edmund Burke, the renowned Irish politician and author. Chiselled with precision on the side of the base, to the proper left, we see the inscription "ELKINGTON & Co | FOUNDERS" indicating that Elkington & Co were responsible for casting this magnificent piece. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. On the proper right side of the base, we find another chisel-signed mark: "J. H. FOLEY. R. A. Sculp | LONDON 1865". This signature reveals that John Henry Foley, a highly esteemed sculptor from Ireland who lived from 1818 to 1874, was responsible for creating this sublime portrait. Edmund Burke's legacy as a politician and author is beautifully captured in this sculpture. Born in 1729 and passing away in 1797, his intellectual contributions have had a lasting impact on society. Known for his profound insights into human nature and political philosophy, Burke's ideas continue to shape our understanding of governance and individual liberty. The skillful craftsmanship displayed by Foley brings out Burke's character with great finesse. This print not only serves as an artistic tribute but also allows us to appreciate both Foley's talent and Burke's enduring influence on history.
