Handsome, silky-chinned Sculptor Bartholdi was an Alsatian who studied painting first, then turned to sculpture under the little-known French Artist Soitoux. The gigantic always fascinated him: his projects grew bigger and bigger, a habit which brought him into contact more with young engineers than young sculptors. Ferdinand (Suez Canal) de Lesseps was a friend of his; with Alexandre Gustave (Tower) Eiffel he was even more intimate...
...BISHOP'S BIRDS -Richard E. Bishop J. B. Lippincott ($15).

Artist Richard Wyndham, depressed by an English January, traveled to the Sudan by air, to the province of Bahr el Ghazal, commonly called "the Bog." His book is memorable for its 48 excellent photographs and for his direct writing about the ways of African whites and native women, about the two handsome models he bought, one for six cows, or approximately ?4. (He tried to hire them, but their parents could see no "difference between a model and a wife.") He writes well about native dances and about...
