To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The figure, indeed, is represented in the guise and attitude in which it might be familiar to the greatest number of people. So, too, is that of William Allen, for which Niehaus shortly afterward received the commission from the State of Ohio; yet with even greater simplicity and naturalness, with an absence of the heroic or dramatic which CHARLES HENRY NIEHAUS iai had been fitting enough in the "Garfield, " con- sidering the circumstances. The "Allen" is an intimate portrait of an incisive spe...aker and clear, close reasoner, in an attitude entirely unstudied, full of natural resolution. From these two statues one may get a very fair impression of the sculptor's natural bent as influenced by Munich training. Its prime feature is a vigorous realism that makes straight for character in the subject, rinding it as much in pose and gesture as in the head, and giving expression to it in the simplest and directest fashion ; if with some dramatic play as we have seen, yet without any floridness.
