 Blaschke putting 

 finishing touches on 

 his reconstruction of 

 a Neolithic sun- 

 worshipper, now on

 historic People. Photo 

 ca. 1932. Blaschke 

 did all the original 

 figures in the eight 

 dioramas of this hall. 

 (Five Neanderthal fi- 

 gures were redone in 

 1972 after more was 

 learned about the 

 structure of their bod- 

 ies.) Blaschke also 

 did the mesohippus 

 (1930) and titanothere 

 (1931) restorations 

 now to be seen in 

 Dinosaur Hall diora- 

 mas. Blaschke was 

 not a Field Museum 

 staff member, but 

 was commissioned to 

 do the work at his stu- 

 dio in Cold 

 Spring-on-Hudson, 

 New York, vum
