About the Item

Bronze by Herbert Cawood 1938, 92 x 27 x 27 cm, 36 1/4 x 10 5/8 x 10 5/8 in: Herbert Harry Cawood (1890-1957) was an English sculptor and silversmith. He was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire and began working as a silversmith whilst still an art student. He was in the Machine Gun Corps during WW1. He exhibited at Leeds City Art Gallery, 1928 and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, (Summer Exhibition) 1920 – 1923. He was an associate member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1943, a Fellow from 1946 -1952. Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, 1st Baron Lugard GCMG CB DSO PC (22 January 1858 – 11 April 1945), known as Sir Frederick Lugard between 1901 and 1928, was a British soldier and explorer of Africa and a colonial administrator. He was Governor of Hong Kong (1907–1912), the last Governor of Southern Nigeria Protectorate (1912–1914), the first High Commissioner (1900–1906) and last Governor (1912–1914) of Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the first Governor-General of Nigeria (1914–1919).Lugard was commissioned into the 9th Foot (East Norfolk Regiment) in 1878 and joined the second battalion in India; he served in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–1880), the Sudan campaign (1884–1885) and the Third Anglo-Burmese War (November 1885) and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1887. After this promising start, his career was derailed when he fell in love with a twice married British divorcee he met in India; learning she had been injured in an accident, he abandoned his post in Burma to join her in Lucknow, then followed her to England. When she rejected him, Lugard decided to make a fresh start in Africa.
