Edgar George Papworth Junior

Edgar George Papworth Jnr (25 June 1832 – 20 January 1927) was an English sculptor. He came from a family long connected with stonework, his father being the sculptor Edgar George Papworth Senior (1809–66), and his grandfather Thomas Papworth (1773–1814), a stuccoist. He was popular in the later nineteenth century. He showed more than fifty portrait busts at the Royal Academy between 1852 and 1882. His work then fell out of fashion, and he was not mentioned in a list of English sculptors compiled in 1901.[1][2][3]
