...Christian A. Herter would recognize Artist Baker's excellent cover drawing of her great governor-husband; Solomon Willard would recognize, down to the last granite alock, the Bunker Hill Monument he designed ; and Mr. Bulfinch would praise Bakr's work on our Stafe Capitol; but no son of the Commonwealth could ever accept that dried-up thing Baker conjured up as a codfish! Ernest Hamlin Baker should change his fish market . . . His caudal fin, dorsal fins, maxillary, eye, missing barbel, etc., have turned our Sacred Cod into a hunk of gurry...
