“This spirited group illustrates a very interesting passage in Cambro-British history — the Death of Tewdric, King of the Gwent, at the Moment of Victory over the Saxons, near Tintern Abbey, on the Wye. ‘The wounded king is represented, after his having fallen in the battle, urging on the pursuit of the flying Saxons, attended” by his only daughter, Marthell, and an aged bard, who is in the act of proclaiming victory.’ — see Liber Land---, page 383.”. . .

“It is a composition of high merit, and we hope to hear of it being executed in marble.”
