Lord Louis takes shape in Bronze - The late Lord Mountbatten is to have his features immortalized in bronze. Sculptor David Wynne has been commissioned by the RAC Club in Pall Mall to create a bronze bust of the famous sea Lord. Wynne is presently putting the finishing touches to the clay figure in his Wimbledon Studio. Casting will commence shortly to produce a limited edition of six, of which the first will go to the RAC. The Mountbatten bust is certain to become one of the classic Wynne pieces which have earned him an international reputation. Perhaps his best known work is the 14 foot bronze "Boy with a Dolphin'Â which stands on the Embankment near Albert Bridge. With the recent increase in Beatles memorabilia, Wynne's well-known bust of the Fab Four, of which 12 were produced, has become a much sought after work. Wynne himself has one in his studio which he is considering selling. Those would like a permanent momento of yesterday's dreams please apply to David Wynne.
