These figures can be found, { albeit with some difficulty in today's marketplace ! }, in four sizes, this pair being the largest and arguably the most elusive. Together, the pair wrote the \"Gospel Hymns\", with Sankey's \"Sacred Songs and Solos\" selling over 50,000,000 copies, an astonishing figure, which clearly would be hard to replicate in today's more secular environment. Unmarked as one would expect, with raised gilt titling to their bases, both figures are attributed by Pugh, { Staffordshire Portrait Figures of the Victorian Age }, to Sampson Smith of Longton, { Circa 1846 - 1963 }, and were almost certainly manufactured to meet the popular demand which arose during the first visit by the pair to England in 1873.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes ~ Moody ~ Height ~ 43.20 cm. \/ 17.00 inches ~ Width ~ 15.20 cm. \/ 6.00 inches ~ Depth ~ 11.40 cm. \/ 4.50 inches ~ Sankey ~ Height ~ 43.20 cm. \/ 17.00 inches ~ Width ~ 15.20 cm. \/ 6.00 inches ~ Depth ~ 11.40 cm. \/ 4.50 inches ~ Year ~ Circa 1875\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #040905;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Lato, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePACKING, LOSS IN TRANSIT INSURANCE AND EXPRESS SHIPPING FOR THIS ITEM VIA A ROYAL MAIL TRACKED SERVICE :- WITHIN U.K. ~ FREE OF CHARGE ~ WITHIN E.U. ~ £95.00 GBP ~ REST OF THE WORLD ~ £125.00 GBP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #040905;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Lato, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTHE APPROPRIATE SHIPPING FEE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ADDED TO YOUR ORDER AT CHECKOUT.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor full details of our Shipping Insurance cover \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/applecrossantiques.com\/customer-services\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: red;\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: red;\"\u003eBUY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e this fine Collector's Item \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: red;\"\u003eNOW\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e with your Debit \/ Credit Card via \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: blue;\"\u003eSTRIPE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e our Ultra Secure Payment Gateway, via Direct Bank Transfer or via PayPal ~ Simply make your selection at the Checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Applecross Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53279301697868,"sku":"PVSPFMH59SH84-38","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/8265\/5564\/files\/Sankey-and-Moody-1a-1.webp?v=1757083726","url":"https:\/\/applecrossantiques.com\/products\/pair-of-victorian-staffordshire-portrait-figures-moody-sankey","provider":"Applecross Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
