Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915 : San Francisco, Calif.)
About the rotunda are: 1. (Outside the southwest archway) Thomas
Jefferson by Karl Bitter. 2. (In center of rotunda) Lafayette by Paul
Wayland Bartlett-the statue given by America to France. 3. Lincoln by
Daniel Chester French, a dignified portrayal that cannot be justly
judged from the plaster model here exhibited. 4. Relief by Richard H.
Recchia, representing "Architecture." 5. Commodore Barry Memorial by
John J. Boyle. 6. Relief by Richard H. Recchia, representing
"Architecture." 7. Princeton Student Memorial by Daniel Chester French a
noble treatment of a difficult theme. 8. The Young Franklin by Robert
Tait McKenzie. This is a fine conception, in which the sculptor has
escaped from the conventional path of monumental portraiture. 9. (On
walls of west archway) Reliefs by Bela L. Pratt, representing
"Sculpture." 10. (Outside west archway) Portrait of a Boy by Albin
Polasek. 11. The Awakening by Lindsey Morris Sterling. 12. (Beside
northwest archway) William Cullen Bryant by Herbert Adams.
Along the north peristyle are: 1. (Beside main doorway of gallery)
Beyond by Chester Beach. 2. The Sower by Albin Polasek. 3. The Centaur
by Olga Popoff Muller. 4. Boy with Fish by Bela L. Pratt. 5. (At the
right) Returning from the Hunt by John J. Boyle. 6. (At the left)
L'Amour by Evelyn Beatrice Longman-a marble wherein the woman's figure
is tenderly beautiful. 7. Garden Figure by Edith Woodman Burroughs. 8.
(At the right) Fighting Boys Fountain by Janet Scudder. 9. Soldier of
Marathon by Paul Noquet. 10. (At the left) Youth by Victor D. Salvatore.
11. (At the right) Primitive Man by Olga Popoff Muller. 12. The Scalp by
Edward Berge-an unpleasant bit of realism. 13. (At the left) Apollo by
Haig Patigian. 14. (At the right) A Faun's Toilet by Attilio Piccirilli.
15. Duck Baby Fountain by Edith Barretto Parsons. 16. Maiden of the
Roman Campagna by Albin Polasek-a figure instinct with the spirit of
the antique.
On the circle at the north end of the peristyle are: 1. (At the right)
Young Diana by Janet Scudder-a young goddess of the hunt, conceived in
modern spirit, with remarkable freedom and grace of movement. 2. Great
Danes by Anna Vaughan Hyatt. 3. (In walk) Sundial by Harriet W.
Frishmuth. 4. Bondage by Carl Augustus Heber. 5. Boy Pan with Frog by
Clement J. Barnhorn. 6. Sundial by Gail Sherman Corbett. 7. Three
fountain groups in one basin, all by Anna Coleman Ladd. Of these the Sun
God and Python has been especially admired as a spirited and graceful
bit of work. 8. (On the lagoon side of the circle) Mother of the Dead by
C. S. Pietro-a sincere and powerfully realistic work, and quite unlike
anything else in the outdoor gallery. 9. (In walk) Chief Justice
Marshall by Herbert Adams. 10. Destiny by C. Percival Dietsch. 11.
Sundial by Edward Berge. 12: Daughter of Pan by R. Hinton Perry. 13.
Head of Lincoln by Adolph A. Weinman.
