Thomas Stirling Lee

[2][3] Lee studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1876 to 1880, where he won both a Gold Medal and a Travelling Scholarship.

[1] Stirling Lee's commission for 28 panels for the exterior of St George's Hall, Liverpool, resulting from an open competition held by Liverpool City Council in 1882,[2] is regarded as his most important,[2] but it was the subject of controversy,[2] when the first two featured naked girls,[2] depicting "the child Justice" and "the girl Justice".

[3] Lee only completed six of the 28 panels, but was subsequently commissioned to make two, and oversee all, of a further set of six on the theme of 'National Prosperity'.

Stirling Lee cast a number of bronze portrait reliefs (medallions) of friends and personalities.

[9][11][12] Falling unconscious in the arcade at South Kensington Station,[13] Stirling Lee died at St George's Hospital, Knightsbridge, London[2] on 29 June 1916.
