Some vintage commissions I made recently

Der Wackere Schwabe in Eisen ist eine aus Holz geschnitzte Skulptur, die im Jahr 1915 in Stuttgart angefertigt und aufgestellt wurde. Vorbild der Monumentalskulptur ist eine geschnitzte Holzbildgruppe „Der wackere Schwabe mit Pferd“.

Der Schreiner Hauser und zwei aus dem Krieg abkommandierte Bildhauer haben ihn in zwei Wochen, ohne persönliche Entschädigung für den guten Zweck aus Lindenholz geschaffen.

Er ist drei Meter hoch und steht auf einem 90 cm starken Sockel mit der Inschrift „DERWACKERESCHWABE/FORCHTSICHNITT1914|1915“

The Edith Cavell Memorial by Sir George Frampton. The memorial is sited in St Martin's Place.

Edith Louisa Cavell (December 1865 – 12 October 1915) was a British nurse. She is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without discrimination and for helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during the First World War, for which she was arrested. She was accused of treason, found guilty by a court-martial and sentenced to death. Despite international pressure for mercy, she was shot by a German firing squad.

The night before her execution, she said, "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone." These words were later inscribed on a memorial.

Quiet down lads… you hear that singing?
