Description: | BUST
Withey notes that Joseph apparently produced more than one bust of Stevenson. 'Woodward* tells of an undated one in the Offices of the Northern Lighthouse Board on George Street, Edinburgh. An engineer model of a bust of Stevenson to be executed in marble was exhibited by Joseph at the R.S.A. (no. 17) in 1827. Another portrait of Stevenson by Joseph, reputedly for the Library of the Bell Rock Lighthouse, was shown at the R.S.A. (no. 311) in 1828. Also, S.N.P.G. has a plaster bust of Stevenson (no. 272) said to be after Joseph. The University's bust would therefore appear to be the oldest known portait of Stevenson by Joseph.
