,lONE of the winners in the recent
|. competition for sculpture for the
, Post Office Building was Sidney
Waugh, whose figure for one of the
mail carriers-a man IN a long over
, coat-was accepted ano will be cast
, in aluminium for placement in a niche
in the Postmaster Generals reception
room. That Mr.. Waugh has won other
: and perhaps greater distinctions,
, among them the Prix de Rome in
sculpture in 1929, is well known, but
comparatively few are aware Of the
unique and very remarkable work he
has done in glass, which has been go
ing on quietly for some years. This
has been done in connection with the
manufacture of Steuben glass in New
York State, and was brought to spe-
cial attention when an exhibition Of
this glass was shown last Summer in
London, at which time an example was
purchased for the Victoria and Albert
: Museum. Ony last mouth 35 pieces
> of this glass, decorated with designs
: by Sidney Waugh, were shown in the
Fogg Museum. Harvard University,
!. Cambridge, and one piece has been
? acquired by purchase for permanent
placement by the Metropolitan Mu-
scum. New York. Commenting upon
