Sculpture of the Exposition Palaces and Courts: Descriptive Notes on the Art of the Statuary at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco
James, Juliet Helena Lumbard
Panama-Pacific International Exposition (1915 : San Francisco, Calif.); Sculpture
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.
