Albert Hodge

Albert Hemstock Hodge (17 July 1875 – 31 December 1917 ) was a Scottish born sculptor.

Hodge was born at Port Ellen, on the island of Islay and he studied at the Glasgow School of Art under William Kellock Brown. Initially he worked as an architect with William Leiper, but his ability as a modeller led him to continue his career as a sculptor. His works include a statue (in Glasgow) of Queen Victoria and a statue (in Stirling) of Robert Burns.

In 1901 he moved to London, where he died in 1917 or 1918.
