Somehow, the history of sculpture has overlooked John Lockwood Kipling.... His most substantial body of work is more than sixty relief sculptures, most made for photographic reproduction as book illustrations.... He also modelled medals and decorated small luxury objects with the dexterity of a goldsmith.... When he moved to India in 1865 Kipling arrived as an architectural sculptor, keen to teach and also to lead an atelier working on new buildings in Bombay. — Julius Bryant, "Kipling as a Sculptor," 81
