EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
Richard Kuohl's two bronze maidens seem to reach up into the sky to make sure they will be seen on their tall pedestals between the elms. They add a new device to the many arrangements for sculpture which give the gardens distinction. They have a whole terrace and a small grove to themselves and well deserve it. One of the pair is shown alone. The setting in which they are located is illustrated at the bottom of page 9. On the way up from the lake the pair of stone figures forming a sort of gateway to the garden walk could easily be missed, so well do they blend into the natural scene. These are not great pieces like some of the other figures but they show a fine example of outdoor sculpture. They represent primitive men arising from the land, pushing the earth up with them. The English artist, Glyn Warren Philpot, did them during a summer spent a he Park Mr. Allerton's guest.
