John Gibson began to rise, and
before he died in 1866 at the age
of seventy-six, he had become one
of the very greatest English sculp
tors. In the house of parliament
today » magnificent statue of
Queen Victoria exhibits the work
of a man whom all learned to ad
mire. Patiently, earnestly, for
ever sticking to the one thing that
he liked best of all to do, John
Gibson, in spite of poverty and
lack of training, made himself an
artist of the first rank.
