Remarks:
IAS files contain a copy of the Indianapolis Star (Indianapolis, IN), July 17, 1921. The article describes the meaning behind each of the animals. The piece, originally a fountain, was designed to catch the spirit of the writings of Juliet V. Strauss, the subjugation of the material to the spiritual. Funding was provided by public subscription.
