Autorenporträt
Herbert Ward (1863-1919) was a British artist who, after many adventures across the world, won fame as a sculptor of exquisite statues of Africans drawn from his experiences on that continent. After leaving school at the age of 15, he spent three years in New Zealand and Australia, before working in Asia with the British North Borneo Company. Thereafter followed two sessions of employment in the Congo, which became the basis of his book "Five years with the Congo Cannibals." Retiring to France, he started his sculpting career, pausing only to open his house as an hospital during the First World War. He served as a lieutenant with the British Ambulance Committee and was wounded while in service. He died as result of his injuries in August 1919.
