This photograph records a bust by or of Lee Mantle, shown turned slightly to the right, a pose that lets the modeling of the face and the line of the neck catch the light. The caption card gives no date, so the exact year is unknown, but photographs of sculpture from this period were often made to document a work for catalogs, newspapers, or the artist's own records. Such images are useful today because they capture a piece's form and surface as it looked when it was photographed, whatever has happened to the original since.
