    Thanks, Lefty. The plumber depicted in the mural certainly reminds me of the figures in Communist and Fascist Heroic Realism art. This statement is not meant to disparage plumbers in any way, but is merely a social commentary on the circumstances surrounding the mural's creation. :)

    Splendid pair of 19th century exterior zinc figures from a French theater. Looking through the ocular of the Porter Garden Telescope, an amazing synthesis of art and science. A lovely orb of sand-cast bronze, impeccably finished. The original Porter Garden Telescope was a marvel of...
