Caption

Marble bust of the late Sir Robert Peel, by A. Munro, 1854. 'The Bust of the late Sir Robert Peel, executed in white marble, by Mr. Alexander Munro, of London, has been lately placed in a niche in the waiting-room of the Public Baths at Manchester. Several members of the Council and of the Testimonial Committee, present on the occasion, expressed their high approval of the Bust as a work of art, and a faithful likeness of the deceased Baronet: it is manly, and expressive in minute subtleties of feature and character. On the tablet is the following inscription, in black letters: These Public Baths originated from a subscription raised in honour of the memory of Sir Robert Peel. Bart., and were completed by the Corporation of this Borough, A.D. 1854'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
