Curatorial RemarksThe Brandywine River Museum holds lantern slides made from a drawing in simple outline of this composition (NCWS.95.418-424), and extensive correspondence between the artist and the architect Arthur O. Angilly which touches on all phases of the commission.
In the mid-1980s, the MetLife murals were removed from the walls of their original location at One Madison Avenue, New York, and placed on strainers. MetLife now occupies new corporate headquarters on Bryant Park, but this mural remains in the Madison Avenue building.
