Description

Newspaper article in one column. Cut out and glued next to it vertically is the newspaper name "The Evening News, Framingham, Mass. Thursday, September 9, 1915". The title of the article is "Medallion is Donated to League". The article is as follows: "The Framingham Equal Suffrage league is proud to number among its members, Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick-Fuller, the sculptor. Mrs. Fuller has designed a beautiful medallion and donated it to the league. It is her contribution to the suffrage campaign fund. On it are 3 heads in profile - a man, a woman and a child - with the motto from an old poem: "Each unto each the rounded complement." It beautifully typifies the message of equal suffrage without having any of the limiations of propaganda. It will be a thing of beauty and a message of truth long after the vote is won throughout the country. The medallion is of plaster, finished in ivory or white, measuring 8 1/2 inches in diameter. Mrs. Fuller has only recently recommenced her work, which was dropped necessarily for a few years after her marriage and the birth of her little sons. She is especially interested in symbolic compositions and has also made a number of portrait busts and reliefs. Her most important recent production is the heroic group entitled "Emancipation," made in 1913 for the Exposition in New York city to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Negro Freedom. Before her marriage Mrs. Fuller was a student in Philadelphia and Paris and later worked in her own studios in both cities. She has exhibited in Paris Salon, the Exposition of Woman Painters and Sculptors, Paris, the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts."
