Engraving of the marble statue of the Scottish poet Thomas Campbell, wearing a cloak and holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other; leaning on a pedestal with a female figure holding a torch carved on it; harp and laurel at his feet. Engraved by William Henry Mote, after William Calder Marshall sculpture at Westminster Abbey.
Presented to the John Rylands Library by Alexander Cowan Wilson in 1923. The gift was probably received in conjunction with the collection of anti-slavery pamphlets acquired by the Library from the executors of Henry Joseph Wilson.
