Peace and "War" - John Bell, sculptor - from the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1856. 'The two "colossal statues of "Peace" and " War" which we engrave as appropriate to the doings of the week are copied from two of the contributions made by Mr Bell to the Sculpture Room of the Royal Academy. They will form, when in marble, appropriate parts of the monument to the Duke of Wellington, on which Mr. Bell has been for some time engaged for the Guildhall of the city of London. Peace hath her victories, the poet tells us, no less renowned than War. Here, as in life, we prefer Peace to War. To erect his great colossal monument to the great Duke, the citizens are about to remove the monument to their patriotic Lord Mayor, Beckford - the father of "Vathek" and Fonthill Beckford. Mr. Bell, we are told, is advancing rapidly with his work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
