Sculpture of the Exposition Palaces and Courts eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 50 pages of information about Sculpture of the Exposition Palaces and Courts.

Chief Justice Marshall (1755-1835).  Herbert Adams
      A dignified seated figure — one of the greatest Chief Justices the
      United States ever had.  He held the position from 1801 to 1835.  The
      United States is symbolized by the eagle.

Rock and Flower Group.  Anna Coleman Ladd
      A decorative group with no special meaning.  It might be called “Idle
      Moments.”

Great Danes.  Anna Vaughan Hyatt
      Watchful Danes guard well the portals.  Their names might easily be
      “Keenly Alert” and “In Sober Thought.”

Bondage.  Carl Augustus Heber
      The mother, tightly bound, thinks not of herself as she turns away, but
      of the weeping child beside her.

Saki — a Sun Dial.  Harriet W. Frishmut
      A nymph acts as a pedestal for a sun-dial.

Sun — Dial Boy.  Gail Sherman Corbett
      How interested he is in the chameleon which has curiously crept up to
      see who it is that gazes at him.

Sun — God and Python.  Anna Coleman Ladd
      Apollo, the god of light, shoots at the python (the symbol of darkness).

Triton Babies.  Anna Coleman Ladd
      i.e., Children of the sea-gods, the Tritons.

Bird Fountain.  Caroline Evelyn Risque
      The little boy holding the bird clings to the globe with his toes.  A
      simple and very appropriate bird fountain.

Prima Mater.  Victor S. Holm
      The “first mother” holds her babe to her breast.

The Fountain of Time, Lorado Taft
      The great ocean of Time is rolling on, carrying with it men and women of
      all conditions of thought.  Some advance blindly, some hopelessly, some
      fearfully, some buffeted by the great waves as they roll on.

Nymph — A Garden Figure.  Edward T. Quinn
      Showing how any figure gains in beauty by being placed among the
      shrubbery.

The Dying Lion.  Paul Wayland Bartlett
      A powerful and most realistic group.  The poor animal is in the last
      agony — is evidently starving.

New Bedford Whaleman.  Beta Pratt
      Such was the type of man who left the town of New Bedford,
      Massachusetts, a whaling port, to seek his occupation in northern water.
