This is a print of a marble statue of William Huskisson, a British statesman who was tragically killed in a railway accident in 1830. The sculpture is a full-length portrait of Huskisson, rendered in a classical style. It was created by the English sculptor John Gibson, known for his neoclassical works. Huskisson is depicted in a toga-like garment, holding a scroll, signifying his role in the political arena. This print would have been created to commemorate Huskisson's legacy and contribution to British society.
