Joseph Else RBS, ARBS, FRBS - a white marble sculpture of an infant, head and shoulders issuing from the block, on a square coloured marble plinth, signed, 30cm high, 19cm wide max.,
Joseph Else 1874-1955, active 1890 - 1949
Country of birth and death: England
Sculptor, modelling teacher, principal of art school
Born in Nottingham. He was the son of William Else (born c.1828 in Campton, Leicestershire), a leather cutter presumably working in the shoe industry. In the early 1890s Joseph was working as a lace designer. He studied at Nottingham School of Art between 1890-1900 and in the early 1900s attended the Royal College of Art, London. Else seems to have divided his time between London and Nottingham until 1915 when it is presumed that he was called into active war service.
From about 1919-38 Else taught modelling and sculpture at Nottingham School of Art where he was also principal from late 1922. His most important commission was for an extensive scheme of sculptural decoration for the exterior of Nottingham Council House (c.1927-9). This includes the lions guarding the entrance, the frieze above the Ballroom windows (representing ancient local industries such as bell-founding and alabaster) and for twenty-one figures depicting the arts and public service on the main pediment.
