Edgar George Papworth Junior

Edgar George Papworth Jnr (25 June 1832 – 20 January 1927) was an English sculptor, who was popular in the later nineteenth century.

Papworth was born in the Marylebone district of London and came from a family long connected with stonework.

[1] Papworth, Junior showed more than fifty portrait busts at the Royal Academy between 1852 and 1882.

Eventually, a statue of Mason was created posthumously, by Francis John Williamson.

[4] Papworth's work then fell out of fashion, and he was not mentioned in a list of English sculptors compiled in 1901.
