• Notes

  More information about the artist can be found here: http:/​/​yourarchives​.nationalarchives​.gov​.uk/​index​.php?title=Wood​%2C_​Francis_​Derwent_​(1871-1926)_​sculptor Sculptor R.A., born in Keswick, Cumberland, in England's Lake District. He studied in Germany and returned to London in 1887 to work under Edouard Lanteri and Sir Thomas Brock; he taught at the Glasgow School of Art from 1897 through to 1905 and was professor of sculpture at the Royal College of Art from 1918 through to 1923. He was elected to the Royal Academy in 1920. He produced a good deal of architectural sculpture typical of the time, including four large roof figures for the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, the British Linen Bank also in Glasgow, and the Britannic House in London for architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Freestanding sculptures by him may also be seen in various galleries, such as his 1907 Atalanta (Manchester Art Gallery, with a bronze cast of it now in Chelsea Embankment Gardens. When he was too old (at 41) to enlist in the Army at the onset of World War I, Wood volunteered in the hospital wards and his exposure to the gruesome injuries inflicted by the new war's weapons eventually led him to open a special clinic: the Masks for Facial Disfigurement Department, located in the Third London General Hospital, Wandsworth. Instead of the rubber masks used conventionally, Wood constructed masks of thin metal, sculpted to match the portraits of the men in their pre-war normality, as did Mrs. Anna Coleman Ladd, of Pennsylvania, at a similar Paris clinic.

  [S82] Emails, Timothy Locker (Reliability: 3). Johan and Judy Many thanks for yours of 15th. I can with certainty give the following information re Family ID F9852: Francis Derwent Wood's wife's name was Florence Mary Schmidt, born 21 June 1873 in Rockhampton, Queensland, yougest of ten or more children of a German gold prospector and his wife Mary O'Kelly (Irish). Florence was a talented singer, described by Sir Henry Wood in his autobiography as having "a truly brilliant soprano voice". She died in February 1969, age 96. Francis and Florence Derwent Wood had one child, Oliver (1903-1996) who married Elizabeth Juliet, eldest child of Sir Douglas Powell, Bt. The only child of this marriage is my wife,Tilly. Oliver wrote a brief memoir of his childhood in which, inter alia, he wrote of his Maw relations, especially his grandmother Anne Mary, as well as a wonderful story of his father and Uncle Arthur Maw in Paris in the 1890s with Gauguin and Javanese Anna. If you are interested in having extracts from this memoir or a photocopy of Sargent's sketch of Anne Mary Wood (nee Maw), please let me know. As I am a computer novice (these are my first e-mails), I would prefer to send these, if you want them, by post. We look forward to hearing from you.
