r this great work. He complpted thp work 

 in two years of arduous application. The statue 

 was exhibited, cast in bronze, and finally unveiled 

 oration Day, 1890. The figure represents a 

 in the fODU ice of the National 



. and has been called the most spirited and 

 graceful military figure in this country. The crown- 

 ing effort of his'life was his heroic statue of Wash- 

 ington Irving. As preparation for modeling this 

 great work, he sought to become familiar with the 

 great writer's mind and character through com- 

 munion with those who knew him in life. He had 

 long conversations with his relatives and per-onal 

 is and became thoroughly imbued with the 

 spirit of the man whose likeness he was to model. 

 With the aid of magnifying glasses, he was able to 

 see some of the best portraits ,,f Irving. For four 

 months he worked entirely UJKUI the head, and 

 after that was perfected he worked <>n the \,i 

 parts, until the figure was complete. Tin- ta-k
