Faith, Hope and Charity - sculpted by J. Thomas, 1858. '...three fine works...[which] have been executed for a mausoleum now being erected in the Necropolis, Glasgow, for the family of John Houldsworth, Esq...We consider these sculptures to be amongst the best of Mr. Thomas's productions. The "Hope" is noble in character, firm, and dignified in attitude. The "Charity" is replete with kind and benevolent sentiment. In her arms a child is nestling, upon which her face beams with tender affection. The "Faith" is a finely-conceived figure; the face upturned, with a divine expression, as fixed on heavenly works. Two spiritual beings kneel on either side at her feet. The drapery of these figures is gracefully arranged and truthful in texture, and the chiseling of the whole masterly and delicate'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
