The Bronze Lion: A Yearbook. Chicago: Students of the Art Institute of Chicago, 1925.
"There Is Hardly a Book That Has Not Seen Hard Use": Books for Working Artists, Case 7, Ryerson & Burnham Libraries,
The Art Institute of Chicago was founded as both a museum and school for the fine arts in 1879, a critical era in the history of Chicago as civic energies were devoted to rebuilding the metropolis that had been destroyed by the Great Fire of 1871. Its first collections consisting primarily of plaster casts, the Art Institute found its permanent home in 1893, when it moved into a building, constructed jointly with the city of Chicago for the World's Columbian Exposition, at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Adams Street. That building, its entry flanked by the two famous bronze lions, remains the "front door" of the museum even today. In keeping with the academic origins of the institution.
This Book is the original 1925 yearbook hard to find .
