The Ohioana Library’s interest in Ohio culture does not stop with books. The accomplishments of Ohio’s artists are a part of the good news it delights to tell forth. Shown on this month’s cover is a piece of bronze statuary, American Bald Eagle by Eli Harvey, which is one of the library’s proudest possessions. Harvey, who was born in Ogden (Ohio) in1860, specialized in animal sculpture. His subjects included lions, greyhounds, a bear for Brown University, an elk for the B.P.O.E., eagles for the Victory Arch in New York, and many more. (Cover Photo by Richard M. Ross, Columbus)
