Summary
editDescriptionFreemasons Hall London war memorial shrine. Photo 7 by Phillip Medhurst 1992.jpg |
English: Casket for the Roll of Honour, Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street, London. 1939. The building was itself conceived as a war memorial; the shrine is its focal point. It takes the form of an altar on a boat. It contains a continuous illuminated scroll inscribed with the names of the fallen. The face of the Shrine has four gilded figures: Moses with the Tables of the Law (in this photograph); Joshua at the battle of Bethoron; Solomon in his wisdom; St. George for England. Material: bronze cast, chased and enriched with patines obtained by acids, chemicals, wax and lacquers. The statuettes are fire-gilt. Work conceived, designed and modelled by Walter Gilbert. This shrine is Freemason Gilbert’s last – and greatest – work. The importance attached to it by Gilbert himself is evidenced by the rare occurrence of an inscription (out of sight of the observer at the rear of the casket) crediting the artist. The mercury vapour used to gild the figures may have been instrumental in the lung damage which caused his death. Work conceived, designed and modelled by Walter Gilbert (a Freemason). Bronze casting by H. H. Martyn of Cheltenham. Photo by Phillip Medhurst. Metalwork 1939. Photo 1992. https://www.scribd.com/doc/17256374/Walter-Gilbert-Main-Inventory
