Cassidy (1860 - 1939). This list is in no way complete. If you can add any entries, please contact us. Works inside buildings are visible to the public at certain times unless otherwise shown.

[S] = Statue life-size or larger, [M] = smaller figure, [B] = Bust, [W] = conceptual sculpture. [R] = relief, plaque or tablet ![]() Cassidy is known to have arranged for batch production, in bronze or ceramic, or some of his smaller works, such as The Weaver's Wife (pictured) which is signed 'John Cassidy fecit 1906.' A bronze version of this subject was on sale at the Manchester Art Gallery autumn exhibition, 1906, for £40. (The matchbox is included for scale.) This little work is actually the seed from which grew this website.
