Statue of the late Lord Lyons for St. Paul's Cathedral, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Statue of the late Lord Lyons for St. Paul's Cathedral, 1860. Mr. M. Noble, of Bruton-street, has just completed the model for a fine statue of the late Admiral Lord Lyons, to be wrought in white Carara [sic] marble, intended to be placed in St. Paul's Cathedral - the result of a public subscription amongst the admirers of the noble and gallant deceased. The figure, which is about eight feet high, is remarkable for its manly and gallant bearing, and is draped in the robes of a peer, loosely thrown over the uniform of a British Admiral. In consideration of the noble Lord's eminent services in a diplomatic capacity, the left hand carries a scroll of paper. Behind the figure are a capstan and anchor, exact models of those in the Royal Albert, the vessel which bore his Lordship's flag during his command in the Black Sea. The face is an original likeness, and is the result of actual sittings to the artist. We have great pleasure in giving an Engraving of this memorial to a truly brave and worthy public servant'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
