    Remarks: 
    The memorial was installed by the Ukrainian-American community of Elmira Heights, to honor the Ukrainian national poet Shevchenko. Cheresnowsky designed the monument, using a plaster casting originally sculpted by Pawlosz for the relief. The original plaster casting is owned by The Ukrainian National Home in New York (NY) and was based on one of Shevchenko's self-portraits. IAS files contain copy of related Memorial booklet, "120, 1861-1981, Taras Shevchenko, Elmira Heights, N.Y., August 23, 1981".
