Text Appearing Before Image:
, and the figure of America surmounts the whole, at a height ofthree hundred and thirty feet. The iconology of this design might have been improved. This, however, was not an essentialpoint. Evidently the design was but a study; it was the outline of an heroic poem, crowded withincidents, set forth with a degree of rhetorical elegance which is full of promise. It had the meritof being distinctly monumental and entirely appreciative of the colossal scale of its masses. Having in mind the lesson conveyed by these voluntary and patriotic contributions, whichwe have referred to because of the importance of the theme, and because they serve to suggestthe boundless field of design which it opens to professional study, we heartily congratulate theMonument Commission for having so cleverly completed the original shaft. As it now stands,it not only is a fit and just tribute to the skill and enterprise of the American people, but a nobletribute to the name which it perpetuates. Henry Van Brunt.
Text Appearing After Image:
Friends and Neighbors PHOTO-ETCHING FROM AN ORIGINAL PAINTING H. Winthrop Pierce. This painting, in which three generations of the peasantry appear, was executed by Mr. Pierceduring a protracted stay in France. It is generally considered one of the best things that he produced while abroad. Like all ofhis paintings, it gives an excellent idea of the subject embraced and is thoroughly truthful in detail.
