Life's not all Sculpture and Architecture. Take a look at photographs of the Chicago Air and Water Show posted at CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE IN THE LOOP.

Henry Hering. Caryatids

Henry Hering had some experience with caryatids before sculpting the "Porch of the Maidens" ca 1911 (shown below) at Chicago's Field Museum. He also had received the commission for preparing the caryatids at The Palace of Fine Arts (now the Museum of Science and Industry) at the Columbian Exposition of 1893.

.

D. H. Burnham and Company designed the Palace of Fine Arts. It was the successor firm, Graham, Anderson, Probst and White that designed the Field Museum and once again collaborated with Henry Hering, continuing the Classical Architecture of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
