Busts and Memorial tablets
One of Passmore Edwards's early publications was the "Lives of the Illustrious". He later celebrated the lives of those that he found worthy by dedicating his buildings to their memory and incommissioning busts and memorial tablets to be errected in public buildings and museums.
| In A Few Footprints Passmore Edwards said ".. for many years I have been privileged to place in town halls, or other public buildings, medallions or busts of famous men or women near where they were born, or where they lived or died. In doing so we gratefully remember illustrious and usuful lives into whose labours we have entered, and keep before us examples of worthy admiration" |
