MATTHEW NOBLE, ENGLAND (1817-1876), STATUE OF SIR WILLIAM FAIRBAIRN, WHITE MARBLE, 39"H X 15"DIAM.Matthew Noble, England, (1817-1876) statue of Sir William Fairbairn, white marble carved full length standing male figure, 1/2 scale. Signed. Biography from the archives of AskArt: Matthew Noble (23 March 1817 – 23 June 1876) was a leading British portrait sculptor. He was a carver of numerous monumental figures and busts including work memorializing Victorian era royalty and statesmen displayed in locations such as Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral and in Parliament Square, London. Noble was born in Hackness, near Scarborough, as the son of a stonemason, and served his apprenticeship under his father. He left Yorkshire for London when quite young, there he studied under John Francis (the father of sculptor Mary Thornycroft). Exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy from 1845 until his death, Noble became recognized after winning the competition to construct the Wellington Monument in Manchester in 1856. Although prolific Noble was never in perfect health. He died at the age of 58 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London, on the west side of the main entrance path from the north, towards the central colonnade. His uncompleted works were finished by his assistant, J. Edwards. Biography from Britannica: William Fairbairn, in full Sir William Fairbairn, 1st Baronet of Ardwick, (born February 19, 1789, Kelso, Roxburghshire [now in Scottish Borders], Scotland—died August 18, 1874, Moor Park, Surrey, England), Scottish civil engineer and inventor who did pioneering work in bridge design and in testing iron and finding new applications for it. From 1817 to 1832 he was a millwright at Manchester, in partnership with James Lillie. In 1835 he established a shipbuilding yard at Millwall, London, where he constructed several hundred vessels. In 1844 he introduced the Lancashire boiler with twin flues. He was the first to use wrought iron for ship hulls, bridges, mill shafting, and structural beams. He also experimented with the strength of iron and the relative merits of hot and cold blast in iron manufacture. In 1845 he joined Robert Stephenson in designing two tubular railway bridges in Wales: the Britannia Bridge, spanning the Menai Strait, and the Conwy Bridge over the River Conwy. The Britannia Bridge, employing a type of box girder or plate girder that came into worldwide use, was partly riveted by hydraulic machines designed by Fairbairn. Fairbairn became a baronet in 1869. His youngest brother, Sir Peter (1799–1861), founded in Leeds an establishment to make textile machinery and machine tools and was knighted in 1858. white marble Dimensions: 39"H x 15"Diam.

Margaret Bourke-White Photograph of the U.S.S. Akron Silver gelatin photograph signed lower right Bourke-White documenting the maiden launch of this airship from the air dock in Akron OH 17 x 23 in. (sight) housed in aluminum frame which is engraved along bottom edge with the following: WINNER / Dutchess Auto & Supply Co. / Third Annual Goodyear Dealers Zeppelin Race / July-August 1931 / This Frame Is Made Of Duralumin Used In Girder / Construction of the United States Airship "Akron" / Built By The Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation. 20.5 x 26 in.The U.S.S. Akron first of a class of two 6 500 000 cubic foot rigid airships was built at Akron OH. Commissioned in late October 1931 she spent virtually all of her short career on technical and operational development tasks exploring the potential of the rigid airship as a Naval weapons system. During the remainder of 1931 and the early part of 1932 the Akron made flights around the eastern United States and over the western Atlantic including one trial of her capabilities as a scouting unit of the fleet. While beginning a trip to the New England area Akron encountered a violent storm over the New Jersey coast and shortly after midnight on April 4 1933 crashed tail-first into the sea. Only three of the 76 men on board survived this tragic accident. During the search for other possible survivors the Navy non-rigid airship J-3 also crashed killing two more men. Condition: Light even toning to photograph; small stain along upper left edge.
