What I have been able to discover is that in 1914 the state of Virginia decided to give a statue to Great Britain & Ireland, who at that time were one country. It seems to have been 1921 when this happened and I believe that there was only one statue given, the one in London. If anyone discovers otherwise please return it to its rightful place. Einar aka

So thanks to the gallery, there seems to be several clear versions of the statue, but that have very little information, or are possibly even post-Gorham casts (not all the Gorham casts are accounted for, indeed with varied numbers, but mostly 22 produced of some variety).
