Assistants work on plaster model, Cornish studio, archival photo
A. Phimister Proctor assisted in the modeling of the horse, which was pointed-up by Saint-Gaudens in his New York studio. This was the first use of Robert Treat Paine’s device for mechanical enlargement of sculpture. James E. Fraser and Henry Hering assisted Saint-Gaudens in Paris in remodeling the equestrian and allegorical figures, which were exhibited in the Paris salon of 1899, the Exposition Universelle of 1900, and at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 in Buffalo, New York.
