Here the camera zooms in on a single portion of the bronze door Gail Sherman Corbett made for Springfield's City Hall, so the viewer sees the modeling of the metal and the craft of the relief rather than the whole entrance. Corbett was a sculptor who worked in the early twentieth century, when civic buildings often carried sculpted doors and panels meant to express local pride and public purpose. Close details like this one show how much hand-finished texture went into work that many passersby saw only from a distance.
