Note

Kerr & Binns first exhibited Parian at the 1853 Dublin Exhibition. John Edward Jones (1806-62) was born in Dublin, and trained and worked as an engineer. He gave up this career and moved to London about 1840 where he became a successful portrait sculptor. He executed busts of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1854.
