Hawthorne: “Drowne’s Wooden Image”

Sculpture           936          "The figure lies within that block of oak, and it is my business to find it." Hawthorne: “Drowne’s Wooden Image”

Sculpture           1089        "It [the snow image] seemed, in fact, not so much to be made by the children, as to grow up under their hands, while they were playing and prattling about it." Hawthorne:  "The Snow Image"
