This lunette mural shows primitive figures set among rocks, a subject that suits its semicircular frame, which was a common format for decorative painting above doorways and in public interiors of the early twentieth century. The record credits it to Alexander and dates its copyright to 1916, a period when popular interest in human prehistory and early anthropology was growing and often found its way into illustration and decorative art. Its place on a board devoted to books and writers hints at how such imagery could serve as a backdrop for stories about the distant past. The record does not name the setting for which it was made, so its original location is worth checking before drawing conclusions about its use.
