Description:
|
Original black and white photograph of a clay model of three statues, a prototype by the Manchester sculptor John Cassidy for the vestibule statue of the John Rylands Library. Mrs Rylands rejected this early design, however, saying "the present appearance of three statues in a line all one height and size looks to me anything but striking and too much like the statues one sees in a cathedral." She did not want the figures to be set in niches, but to stand proud. Having no aesthetic use for this photograph, she used it to stiffen a bundle of book lists, and it is badly faded and torn.
