Henry Webber

Henry Webber (1754–1826) was an English sculptor and modeller.
The son of a Swiss sculptor who moved to England, he was awarded in 1776 the Royal Academy Gold Medal.〔Gunnis, Rupert (1951), ''Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660–1851'', (pp.417-18 ).〕 In 1778, Webber was chosen by the Oxford Paving Commission to carry out the sculptures and sphinxes for the balustrade of John Gwynn's Magdalen Bridge. Unfortunately, in 1782 the Commission eventually abandoned this idea, paying a compensation payment and permitting him to keep any sculpture already made.〔Jaine, T.W.M. (1971) ''The building of Magdalen Bridge, 1772-1790'', (Oxoniensia ) xxxvi, p.69.〕
This same year, after being recommended by Sir William Chambers and Sir Joshua Reynolds, Webber started working for Josiah Wedgwood's at Etruria, where he became chief sculptor in 1785, position he held until 1806.
Webber is also the author of the monument to David Garrick in the Poet's Corner in the Westminster Abbey, modelled many of the figures for Wedgwood's Portland Vase and designed several portrait medallions, including the Sydney Cove medallion.
