Sir Joshua Reynolds Alfred Drury Statue Old London Bronze Sculpture Postcard

ABIZRA120 This is a beautiful undated but modern published official postcard from London's Royal Academy Of Arts for this historic photo from 1931 of Sir Joshua Reynold's statue of Alfred Drury outside the Royal Academy with artist details, dates, dimensions etc & Royal Academy Of Arts logo on reverse being the official souvenir from when on display unused and mint. 

"...This monumental study utilises deep tonal contrasts and a highly structured composition to translate the tactile weight and physical texture of bronze sculpture onto a flat medium. The visual design captures the grand, theatrical silhouette of the iconic figure, celebrating classical eighteenth-century stance and academic dignity through fluid lines and a dramatic play of shadow. By isolating the monument against a clean backdrop, the image honours both the foundational legacy of the first Academy president and the masterful turn-of-the-century craftsmanship that immortalised him in London...."
