EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the statue of "Griselda" by renowned British sculptor William Calder Marshall (1816-1885), R.A., installed in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House in London. The Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London, underwent an extensive renovation in the mid-19th century, during which poetic statues in marble were commissioned to decorate the building. The architectural beauty of the Egyptian Hall was enhanced by these standing statues, making it a stunning addition to London's architectural landscape. The Egyptian Hall, with its unique architectural requirements, necessitated the creation of standing statues. Griselda, a statue of unparalleled delicacy, is one such creation, masterfully crafted by Marshall. This exquisite work of art was featured in the Illustrated London News in 1856, with the publication praising its addition to the Hall, stating that it would surpass the most beautiful of public or private buildings in London in terms of sculptural decoration. The photograph print, an engraving from the Illustrated London News, captures the ethereal beauty of Griselda in black and white. The statue, depicting a full-length female figure, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the Egyptian Hall. The intricate details of the statue, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the expressive features of the face, are beautifully captured in this engraving. Marshall's mastery of marble sculpture is evident in Griselda, making it a true testament to the artistic prowess of the time. The statue, along with the other poetic statues in the Egyptian Hall, continues to captivate visitors to this day, adding to the architectural beauty and historical significance of the Mansion House.
