: I am seeking background information about a marble head of Benjamin Franklin in the UK. It has been unknown to the world of art until now, and I have been advised by specialists that it may be by David d'Angers, a leading French sculptor, who must have made it after Franklin's death, perhaps from engravings. It is not impossible that it is an earlier, contemporary work. : I would be interested in hearing from anyone who specialises in portraits of Franklin who might be able to provide further information that might ist me in identifying which prints/portraits of Franklin might have been used, and whether there is any evidence that might ist us in identifying the sculptor. : Dr. Michael Rhodes : Head of Museum Services : Torbay Council, : UK
