The completed bust was delivered to the club in late May/early June 1889. Drill holes on the top of the head and surviving club records indicate that the bust was once surmounted by a metal crown. This was removed in late 1893 and returned to Gilbert for use as a model for a marble version which he had offered to make for the bust. Gilbert failed to return the original metal crown, nor did he ever supply a replacement. (Jones 2019, pp. 16 and 19). The bust is one of only a dozen or so known works in marble by Gilbert. Sir Alfred Gilbert RA MVO (1854-1934) was an English sculptor. He studied in London, Paris and Rome, returning to England in 1884. His commissions included the jubilee memorial to Queen Victoria in Winchester and the statue of Eros, in aluminium, for the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain in Piccadilly Circus, and in 1900 he was appointed Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy. A period of bankruptcy and divorce followed, and Gilbert moved to Bruges. On his return to England in 1926, his fortunes improved, the highlight being the bronze Queen Alexandra Memorial, at Marlborough House, London, 1926-32. He was knighted by George V in 1932. Gilbert died in poverty in 1934. reference term-124744 adlib-term-124744 d74897b0-aef3-3f6b-9892-2f8e4a88d417 19th Century, Late reference term-37963 adlib-term-37963
