EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
?•"* At the forest crosswalks, west of the Sunken Garden, the sun lights a tiny glade where Bourdelle's superb bronze is placed in a setting of great oaks where, in autumn, falling leaves take part in the magnificent allegory. Seen to best advantage from the river path below, it must nevertheless be viewed from all four approaches and even from above before it is revealed completely. Bourdelle, a pupil and friend of Rodin, created this monumental work at his studio in Paris in 1914. The figure seen at the Park was purchased from the sculptor in 1929, the year of his death, and was cast from the original plaster mold. The setting for it was designed by John Gregg.
