Alexander Munro (British, 1825-1871) Josephine
Est: £1,000 - £2,000
Alexander Munro (British, 1825-1871) Josephine Elizabeth Butler (nee Grey) oval plaster relief, with morning glory entwined within her hair, incised with monogram, white painted plaster 21" x 16". Josephine Butler (1828-1906) was a Victorian feminist and social reformer in the cause of women. She led the fight against the white slave trade and the campaign for the repeal of the Contagious Disease Acts in Britain and internationally between 1869 to 1886. She and her husband first met Munro in Oxford when he was preparing statues for the Oxford Museum around 1855 and this depiction of Josephine Butler probably dates from around this time. Another copy of this portrait relief can be found in the Walker Art Gallery and is one of only two or three examples known. See Mary Bennett, Artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Circle: The First Generation, National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, Lund Humphries, p.165, no. 9026.

* Munro (Alexander, 1825-1871). Head of Dante,
Est: £200 - £300
* Munro (Alexander, 1825-1871). Head of Dante, plaster cast of a sculptured portrait of Dante, 17.4 x 17.4cm (7 x 7ins) Lower edge with the following pencilledinscription: "Cast taken from the Dante head sculptured by the late Alexander Munro. This is written by his sister J Munroe." Munro was closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood from the start, although was never formally a member. He was born in 1825, the son of a stonemason employed on the Scottish estates of the Duke of Sutherland. His abilities attracted the attention of the Duchess, who helped with his education and in 1848 took him to London and introduced him to Charles Barry. Barry employed him on the sculptures for the Houses of Parliament, but he quickly tired of this subordinate position and set up on his own, sharing a studio with Arthur Hughes between 1852 and 1858. Success came quickly and between 1849 and 1870 Munro exhibited on average five or six works at every Royal Academy exhibition. Apart from a few statues and one or two subject pieces such as his famous Paolo and Francesca, these were mostly portrait busts or medallions, or groups of children. It has been suggested that Rossetti was responsible for suggesting Munro depict Paolo and Francesca, and sketches suggest that he was perhaps even responsible for the composition. (1)

A Victorian plaster portrait relief roundel
Est: $948 - $1,580
After Alexander Munro Mounted in a William IV carved giltwood oval frame 301/2in. (77.5cm.) high NOTES Alexander Munro (1825-1871) was a portrait sculptor, working predominately in marble, bronze and aluminium. This example bears a close resemblance to John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite artist and prot‚g‚ of the Victorian critic, John Ruskin. Munro carved a marble portrait bust of Millais, circa 1855. Munro came to London in 1844, under the patronage of Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland, who recognised his artistic talent and introduced him to the leading architect, Charles Barry. By 1848 he had accquired sufficient skills to study sculpture in the Royal Academy Schools, training in the traditional methods, which incorporated the use of plaster casts. At this time he met Gabriel Rossetti, who naturally introduced him to friends and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite orbit.
