Frederick William Commons (1860-1925) was an Australian monumental sculptor who was commissioned to carve the monuments in the Ballarat Town Hall. He was commissioned to carve four allegorical figures for Parliament House, Melbourne, each 12 ft high and for £2,100.[2] However, it never eventuated due to the depression.[3] Today, many of his works can be seen in statues and monuments in the Ballarat district.
