He remarried and moved to Rome before his return to England in 1926, where he was rehabilitated as a sculptor, with the aid of journalist, Isabel McAllister, author of this work.

First Edition
First Edition. 4to. pp. xii, 236. 40 plates plates in photogravure. Bound in cream cloth decorated in an elaborate art nouveau style in brown and red on upper cover and on the spine. Title and author stamped in gilt on spine. Lower cover has a small decoration in the centre with the A&C Black monogram printed in brown. Apart from some bumping to the extremities, the cover is in very good condition. This copy has its (rare) dust jacket in very good condition despite minor chipping to the extremities. The decoration on the dust jacket repeats the pattern from the cover but in green and brown. The contents are in excellent condition with only very minor foxing. A very nice copy especially with the scarce dust jacket. Very good Alfred Gilbert (knighted in 1932, three years after this biography and two years before his death) was one the finest and most important English sculptors of the Victorian and Edwardian age. Although he lived a somewhat peripatetic, bohemian and eccentric life, he received commissions from important members of the British establishment and is best remembered now for "The Angel of Christian Charity" in Piccadilly Circus, popularly if erroneously know as "Eros".

First Edition Signed
SIGNED PRESENTATION FROM ALFRED GILBERT WITH LOVELY FLOWING INSCRIPTION TO THE FRONT ENDPAPER: "TO MY OLD FRIEND AND PUPIL JIMBAIJO (HAROLD LOCK) IN MEMORY OF OLD DAYS AND HAPPIER TIMES ALFRED GILBERT LONDON 1 FEB. 1934." Quarto. xii, 236 pp. 40 plates including the frontispiece. Original decorative cloth boards in orange, brown and faun, a few stains and a short split at the top of the spine. Old Sellotape marks have left a deep stain across the top of the second and third front endpaper, the third of which is one the same page at the wonderful ink inscription, which does not effect it but does nonetheless detract from the overall impression. Other than this act of vandalism the contents are crisp, clean and bright with no errant markings or signs of wear. Sir Alfred Gilbert's (1854-1934) best-known work is undoubtedly the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain ("Eros") in London's PIccadilly Circus, was of the first statues to be cast in aluminium. He received his artistic education mainly in Paris (at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, under Jules Cavelier), and studied in Rome and Florence where the significance of the Renaissance made a lasting impression upon him and his art.
