The sculptor Joseph Nollekens (1737–1823) was famed for his portrait busts of leading figures of the day. This gossipy, anecdotal two-volume biography, first published in 1828 by the draughtsman and antiquary John Thomas Smith (1766–1833), sheds much light on the London art world in which the sculptor flourished.
