Statue of John Cass, Lead statue in Guildhall, City of London, England
The statue represents John Cass in sheriff attire with a long wig, striding forward with alderman robes fluttering outwards from his frame.
Louis-François Roubiliac created this lead figure in 1751, commissioned by the Sir John Cass Foundation for display on Aldgate High Street.
The statue reflects the artistic style of 18th-century British ceremonial sculpture, depicting an English merchant and Member of Parliament.
Visitors can find the statue at coordinates 51.5163 latitude and -0.0916 longitude inside the Guildhall Old Library Lobby in London.
The statue underwent multiple relocations before settling in Guildhall in 1980, while a fibreglass replica stands at London Metropolitan University.
