Lilian Maud Wade, née Morris (c.1870-1923) was born in Battersea, SW London, when it was still a part of Surrey. She studied as a National Scholar at the National Art Training-Schools of South Kensington from February 1895 to February 1897. Having studied under Edouard Lanteri, she later became his assistant. Pauline Rose has found that she exhibited at the Royal Academy eight times between 1900 and 1916: "on each occasion she showed one work, drawn from a mixture of statuettes, reliefs, medallions and portrait busts. Her statuette Victory ... shown at the Academy in 1907, was possibly a maquette for a significant memorial." Her death was registered in the borough of Croydon. As Rose goes on to say, "She is yet another female sculptor about whom there is very little information but who clearly produced a wide range of work, all to a high standard" (111).
