Summit County Court Statues

Herman Matzen has statues at Cuyahoga, Lake, and Summit County courthouses. These two are [supra] Justice, and [infra] Law, and are in downtown Akron.

These lions are next to the sidewalk.

'Doughboy' infantryman from World War I, by Ernest Moore Viquesney 1934.

There were more than 150 of these, The Spirit of the American Doughboy, made from 1920 and on. It is of pressed copper. In addition Viquesney made some variants.

I have noticed some of my older posts have had their formatting changed. I generally post fotos in blogger's large version, they have been made medium, or small. The text copy has had paragraph structure eliminated.
