Alfred Lambourne, by Mahonri M. Young

ALFRED LAMBOURNE, BY MAHONRI M. YOUNG. The bust in bronze of our poet-philosopher is considered by Mr. Young as among his best works. It was exhibited at the National Academy of New York, and was engraved in the Chicago Art Journal, and in the International Studio. It was much praised by the Eastern critics. It was purchased by the State of Utah and is a part of the Alice Art collection, which will ultimately be kept in the Capitol Building. The bust is highly finished and minute in detail, the expression of the eyes fine, and the treatment of the hair masterly. From different points of view, the bust exhibits the versatility of our home author as shown in the many contributions to this magazine, and the Christmas narrative poem of Plet, the lovestory of Metta, the descriptive philosophical work, Our Inland Sea; The Rose, a Rhapsody, and the beautiful and learned Memorial volume, The Cross: Holly and Easter-Lilies.
