Lot Essay

The George Sumers commission for the "Old Lodge", Glenwood Springs, Colorado may be the first pictoral record of Molesworth's use of these whimsical sculptures of jackrabbits and burros. The authorship of these works is less clear as these designs are known in other interiors of the 1920's and 1930's.
