Panel show for art lovers in Leeds
Charity and Justice was produced by 19th century sculptor William Hamo Thornycroft as part of his work on a memorial to Major General Charles George Gordon, a British Army officer who died in battle in Sudan in 1885.
Comprising a bronze figure of Gordon with two bronze relief panels, the memorial now stands on London’s Victoria Embankment.
