He was commissioned to design many public monuments and statues of public figures. William Cavendish endowed the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, which was named after his relative, the scientist Henry Cavendish (1731-1810). This full-length seated portrait was cast in 1907 from the model for the large bronze statue at Eastbourne, unveiled in 1901, for which Goscombe John was awarded a gold medal at the Paris Salon of the same year. reference term-114724 adlib-term-114724 5a440df3-6de5-387e-a3a2-4c8ae96a9213 Edward VII reference term-109008 adlib-term-109008 841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e1 20th Century, Early reference term-107826 adlib-term-107826 5ccaf467-f3e1-3ead-8ffc-a5ee9e7c0f9a literal Britain Britain country Great Britain reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Commissioned from the sculptor by the Committee and subscribers; given by the Committee and subscribers to the University of Cambridge, and placed in the Fitzwilliam Museum (Grace 1 & 2, Feb. 1908). reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK Publ. pp. 115-6, no. 191 pp. 115-6 reference publication-709 adlib-publication-709 b6198d7b-a068-312d-bee5-3a4f7c0b71a5 Catalogue of Cambridge Portraits I The University Collection Publ. p. 65 p. 65 reference publication-1073 adlib-publication-1073 dcb98f02-4c88-3c04-8824-a5a2f7bd54ac Goscombe John at the National Museum of Wales subject reference term-1609 adlib-term-1609 84f2e5e2-0de4-3096-98b9-7bb4c12aaffd male literal male male
