Cushag (Josephine Kermode) sculpture [Edited]

A sculpture of the Manx poet and playwright, Cushag (Josephine Kermode), by Joseph Swinnerton, now located in the cafe of the Manx Museum in Douglas.

Cushag is regarded by many as the Isle of Man's second greatest poet (after T. E. Brown). She was born in Ramsey in 1852 and lived to the age of 84, dying in 1937. She published five books of poetry and a number of plays.

Joseph Swinnerton (1848-1910) was a Manx sculptor who lived most of his working life in Italy.
