Scope and content
In this photograph from October, 1938, Mr. Thomas Jacobsen, of 1007 So. Tyler St., sits next to the wooden replica of the Reims cathedral that he had just finished carving. Working 3 to 4 hours a day, and all day on Sundays, it had taken Mr. Jacobsen three years to create his beautiful 3 foot tall model. He used three kinds of wood - alder, birch, and walnut. Working from a photograph in National Geographic Magazine, his carving included 250 separate statues.(T. Times 10/25/1938, p.1)
