These bronze casts of plants in the Amazon basin and animals on the side of an Andean volcano are details on side panels on the base of the statue of Alexander von Humboldt, German botanist and explorer of South America, near the center of Tower Grove Park.
I've become interested in tiles, terra cotta, brick pattern design and other ornamentation on the brick buildings of St. Louis and have a second blog as of August 09 called St. Louis Mosaic at: stlouismosaic@blogspot.com
If you are new here, you will find some tile pictures and other ornamentation from the past month, the origins of this interest.
If you are only looking for ornamentation, you might as well just go on over to St. Louis Mosaic, where I am adding new stuff all the time and bringing over copies of everything that's here as well.
