Biographical Details	Little is known about this Leith sculptor except that he studied at the Trustees Academy in the 1840s and showed at the Royal Scottish Academy, 1847-49. His exhibits in 1847 included a marble medallion of Bertel Thorvaldsen, perhaps suggesting that he had travelled to Rome (2). Literary References: Woodward 1977 (vol 1, pt 2), 259
