Newspaper article with the title 'Prize Winners'. Underneath the article written in pencil is 'Boston Transcript'. The article is as follows: "Rose Garrity and Meta V. W. Fuller Awarded First and Second Prizes in Sculpture Competition. Last winter the art committee of the Massachusetts branch of the Woman's Peace party announced a competition for two prizes for the best paintings, drawings, or sculptures promoting the constructive peace movement. The first prize offered was $50; the second prize, $25. The competition closed May 1. the first prize of $50 has now been awarded to Miss Rose Garrity of Boston, a sculptor, who has studied about two years under Roger Nobel Burnham. Her subject is "Peace rests upon international law, which is built and upheld by the people." The central figure is that of a man who typifies international law, supporting on his shoulder a woman who symbolizes peace. A youth with a harp in one hand reaches up with the other hand to grasp the mantle of peace, as "art cannot exist without peace." The second prize of $25 has been awarded to Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller of Framingham, a colored woman. Her subject is "Peace halting the ruthlessness of war." War is blind and is mounted on a blind horse, riding down men, women and children; he bears aloft a head impaled on his spearpoint. The angel of peace with raised hands halts his progress. Mrs. Fuller took a first prize at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art, then went to Paris, where she studied under Carles, Injalbert and Rodin. She has exhibited at Philadelphia, Buffalo and the Jamestown Exposition. Her husband is pathologist at the Westboro State Hospital for the Insane."
