Lot Essay

John Henning the Elder (b.1771-d.1851), came to London in 1811, and was overwhelmed with admiration of the Elgin marbles, which were to become a source of great influence for him. Working for Josiah Wedgwood at the time, Henning embarked on a project of making models of the Parthenon and Phigaleian friezes. The project took twelve years to complete.
