| SECTION OF DUBLIN MUSEUM. -A section of the Statuary Hall of the Dublin Museum of Science and Art is revealed in this sketch - the subjects being chiefly models designed by Foley and other eminent artists. Besides statuary, this portion of the museum also contains curious specimens of metal work, pottery and a multitude of other ancient objects, many original and others simply casts taken from the originals in the British Museum. All these collections have been greatly enriched by donations from Lords Cloncurry and Dunraven, particularly by the act of sculptor Foley, who in his will, dated August 27, 1874, bequeathed to the Royal Dublin Society all the original models of his works some of which appear in the picture. In this fine collection are to be seen statues of John Hampden, Lord Clyde, Chancellor Selden, Lord Canning, Father Mathew, Lord Herbert of Lea, Sir Francis Lawley, Gen. the Hon. Robert Bruce, Barry Cornwall, Major-General Nicholson, Visount Hardinge, General Outram, Adrian Hope, Manockjee Nesserwangee, whose name is sufficiently singular to be unforgotten, and a number of superb ideal groups which have been already dealt with. |
