This week, we’ll offer something a little easier. Here’s a mystery of the bottom of a statue that should be familiar to many. Send us your guess – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s phot0, “Man on a bench” wasn’t Strom Thurmond or Henry Timrod or Albert Einstein. It was Mark Twain outside of the headquarters of the Florence County Library System that’s called the Doctors Bruce and Lee Foundation Library. The statue, donated in 2007, is believed to be the work of Arizona-based artist Gary Lee Price (similar sculpture here). Thanks to Florence resident Barry Wingard for a great picture that created lots of guesses.
Huge hat-tip to the two people who correctly guessed the statue was Twain – Pam Little-McDaniel of Florence and David M. Taylor of Darlington. Sometimes, we guess, these things don’t show up in computer searches and you just have to know it from seeing it!
>> Send us a mystery picture. If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send to: feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.
