W. Britain Museum Collection

The W. Britain Museum Collection is the part of the W. Britain catalog devoted to named historical individuals — single figures sculpted as specific people rather than as types of soldier. Where the era collections give you the redcoats or the Union infantry, the Museum Collection gives you Washington, Lincoln, Lee, Grant, Churchill, Eisenhower, Joan of Arc, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, Phillis Wheatley, Chief Joseph Brant — the people, not the regiments.

These are the figures W. Britain spends the most research and sculpting time on, because each one has to actually look like its subject. Faces are based on contemporary portraits and photographs where they exist. Uniforms, decorations, and civilian dress are taken from documented sources. The result is a series collectors use to anchor displays — the named individual at the center, with rank-and-file figures from the matching era around them.

The range spans medieval Europe (Joan of Arc), the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Alamo, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, both World Wars, and into the modern era. It includes military commanders, statesmen, monarchs, abolitionists, and cultural figures — anyone W. Britain has decided is worth a single-figure treatment.
