"Books delight the soul" is inscribed in Latin at the bottom of this lovely bas-relief mirror, smoothly detailed and produced in gypsum cement. A reproduction of the relief meticulously sculpted by Lyon Pratt, ca. 1897, portraying two of the graceful figures that occupy the spandrels of the arches leading to the Jefferson Building's three massive bronze doors. The three pairs of figures represent Literature, Science, and Art. The two figures on our mirror represent the contemplative and productive sides of literature: reflection and composition.

Care: Clean with a dry dust cloth or dry paint brush.
