Commentary | Gorham Foundry, Providence Rhode Island gave ten master models to the University of Delaware. These are matrix casts, which the sculptors themselves had finished (chased, polished, and added patina) and which served as models for the founders to cast replicas in the edition of each one. The Buffalo was part of this gift in 1964 from Gorham. (Excerpt, _. ______, Curator of Collections, University Museums, University of Delaware.) |
