About the Item
ALEXANDER PHIMISTER PROCTOR
American, 1860-1950
"Princeton Tiger" (1910)
Dark-brown and autumnal patinated bronze signed in cast "AP PROCTOR 1912", "GORHAM CO FOUNDERS 0454 # 88" with copyright symbol captured from underlying mold, "79" and "PRINCETON TIGER" to raised edge cast circa 1912
Item # 412JOI08F
A fine casting of Alexander Phimister Proctor's "Princeton Tiger". Modeled in 1908-1910, the original monumental pair of these were cast in 1910 and presented to Princeton University Art Museum by the class of 1879 (hence the '79 incised on the front raised edge). They were subsequently cast by Gorham starting in 1912 in two dimensions - 22 3/16" in total width and 9" in total width. It is finished in a nuanced dark brown with autumnal undertones and hints of verdigris patination. The fabulous patina remains silky and smooth, capturing the light and showcasing the delicate surface textures captured directly from the underlying mold.

Measurements: 4" H x 9 1/4" W x 2 3/8" D
