Newspaper article with large image of a sculpture and a small article pasted besides. Image has the text beneath "'The Wretched' One of Miss Warrick's Weird Bits of Statuary (Women Sculptors Challenging Fame.) The article is as follows: "One could not think of using the old term 'sculptress' in speaking of Meta Vaux Warrick, the young Philadelphia mulatto girl whose work has reated a future both in this country and abroad. She is a Philadelphian born and bread, and at the School of Industrial Art she received the education and encouragement necessary to send her to Paris to study, and, after her return home, the first public recognition of the art world, for she is now on the School Board of Control. She has known all the harships of lonely young student life in the great French city, and much of her work was expressive of her despair. When she was scarely 19 she took one of her models to Rodin, and from that time on she was his special protege. One of the finest pieces of work, "The Wretched," M. Bing, the great French sculptor, had cast in bronze, and artistic Paris was amazed at the work - the originating life, the masterly grouping would be remarkable for a mature man."
