It was intended lor the Irish Exhibition in 1852, but the work being finished too late for its reception in Dublin, Mr. Blashfield had a copy made in terracotta, and which was finished by Mr. J. Bell and exhibited at the Royal Academy. This original in terra-cotta is now in Mr. Blashfield's possession, at his gallery, Praed-street, Paddington'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
