Came from England The original bust from which lhc replica was made, found its way into the United States from an unknown existence of 130 years in England. When Representative Bloom, who The bust mous bust brough to the Reprasentative iate Director of the United | George Washington Bicen- Commission, returned from ope last summer, he brought k with him the art rarity. It was the marble bust of Washing- ton by the great English sculptor of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Joseph Nollekens. This bust wa$§ not 'exscuted from life, but from an original painting by Gilbert Stuart; and, in the 130 years or so of its existence, has been viewed by but few Americans As a matter of fact many Ameri- can art critics have never even heard of it Nollekens, one of the best known sculptors in all of Europe at the turn of the 19th century, was born in London, of Dutch parents, on August 11, 1737. In 1760 he went to Rome where he soon made his mark in the world of art. Twelve years later, in 1772, at the early age of 35 Nollekens became a member of the London Royal Acad- emy. Reputation Rose Steadily His reputation rose steadily. He made busts of the leading people of his day. Included in his long list of patrons, to mention just a few, are: King George, III, the Prince of Wales, Lord Grenville, Charles James Fox, Samuel John- son and Oliver Goldsmith Washington's busts were even then commanding large prices both in America and in England. Al- lured by the prospect of a hand- some profit and intrigued by the personality and reputation of Gen- eral Washington, Nollekens set to work and produced his bust which is now coming into prominence. Bloom Owns Original Representative Bloom is the pos- sessor of the original Nollekens bust and hundreds of replicas have already found their way to all parts of the United States. Every United States Senator and Rep- resentative has been presented with one of these busts and the United States George Washington Bicen- tennial Commission is now making arrangements to present one to each of the forty-eight Governors of the States. The original Nollekens bust of George Washington is now open to view at the headquarters of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, Washing- ton Building, Washington, D. C.
