The photograph, mounted on green card, depicts a deposition scene and is part of a collection bequeathed by William Kineton Parkes in 1938. Parkes, a novelist, art historian, and librarian known for his work on sculpture, solicited responses from sculptors in the 1920s through questionnaires, now preserved in the Archive of Art and Design. This image is one of many photographs sent to Parkes by the sculptors he contacted to complete his survey.
