Vinnie Ream : printed for private distribution only; and to preserve a few souvenirs of artist life from 1865 to 1878 . und the booth is constantly packed with sight-seers. Miss Ream, who has journeyed abroadsince she completed her statue of Lincoln, has learned in France and Italy many things new to herabout her art. One or two works which she has produced during the past few years, notably afemale figure called the Spirit of the Carnival, are far better than anything she had previouslyattempted. Her facility in modeling in clay is extraordinary. I have never seen a sculptor whocould compare with her in the rapid formation of a likeness. When she began the bust of JudgeWaite she had in front of her a standard, an iron wire with prongs and a tub of moist clay. Withina couple of hours she had built up in rough the whole fabric of the bust, modeled the shape ofthe head, and produced an accurate profile.
