Book. Manuscript biography of sculptor John Thomas by his brother Robert Thomas. 90 leaves written on one side only with tipped in illustrations by John Thomas. 4to. Boards, cloth spine. Last 12 leaves and back board affected by damp, some leaves quite badly. John Thomas (1813 - 1862) was an architectural sculptor. He was employed by Sir Charles Barry to work on the Palace of Westminster, other projects included Stephenson's Britannia Railway Bridge across the Menai Strait to Anglesey, Edward Walter's Manchester Free Trade Hall, Cuthbert Brodrick's Leeds town Hall, Harewood House, Castle Howard and he worked for Prince Albert, this included remodelling the print room at Windsor. The manuscript begins with a short biography of John Thomas’s brothers including the author, Robert, writing in the third person and his death is noted in a different hand. The latter part of the book is copies of letters from John to his brothers, he does not specify who he is writing to, always ‘My dear brother’ or ‘Dear Brother’ and I believe the tipped in illustrations will have been enclosed with the original letters.
