Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Bust of John Howard Payne, by Henry Baerer, which was located on the crest of Sullivan Hill, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, from 1873 to 1974. Presented by the Faust Club of Brooklyn, it was toppled from its pedestal by vandals a century later. It was recovered and languished in New York City Parks Department storage for over 25 years until it was sent to Home Sweet Home, a museum in East Hampton, NY that is dedicated to John Howard Payne and his time. The pedestal in Prospect Park was demolished around 2000. Henry Baerer, the sculptor, also created the memorial to Civil War General G. K. Warren, nearby in Grand Army Plaza, and busts of Ludwig von Beethoven in Central and Prospect Parks. (Dedication: Brooklyn Daily Eagle, September 27, 1873, Henry J. Baerer: New York Times, December 09, 1908; Theft of Bust: New York Times, January 26, 1974. Disposition at Home Sweet Home Museum: 'The Home Is Sweet But It Wasn't His'; Julia C. Mead, New York Times, January 16, 2005) |

Licensing[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
