Statue of the late Sir G. C. Lewis at Hereford, by Baron Marochetti, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Statue of the late Sir G. C. Lewis at Hereford, by Baron Marochetti, 1864. 'The inhabitants of the city and county of Hereford...subscribed for a statue of the late Sir George Cornewall Lewis, their neighbour and former representative...The artist of this statue has produced a striking likeness of Sir George, who is represented standing with his arms folded, as if in the act of addressing a public assembly; and his dress is not that of an ancient classical orator or statesman, but the plain frock-coat and trousers worn by an English gentleman - a costume which, if it in any degree impairs artistic effect, has, at least, the merit of truthfulness. The figure is cast in bronze, and is 7 ft. 6 in. high...On the pedestal there is this appropriate inscription: "Sir George Cornewall Lewis, a wise and honest statesman, a profound scholar, a kind and firm friend; M.P. for the county of Hereford from 1847 to 1852; chief steward of the city; Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1855 to 1858; Home Secretary from 1859 to 1860; Secretary for War from 1860 to 1863. Born, 1806; died, 1863".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864
