Stone
Mountain
Artist's
realization of Gutzon Borglum's original design for the Stone Mountain
Confederate Memorial, near Atlanta, Georgia
Gray wash heightened with white

Note:
Probably an
illustration for a contemporary journal, the drawing shows the original
conception by Borglund, who left the project in the 1920s and went on to
create Mount Rushmore in North Dakota. Stone Mountain, as it exists today,
is based on the design of Walker Kirkland Hancock, who was chosen by
committee to complete the memorial in 1964. |
