Charles Marega with lion
|
This photograph is dated July 25, 1938. Sculptor Charles Marega
is close to finishing this stylized sculpture of a lion. It is one of the two lions intended for
installation at the south end of the Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver, which was then under
construction. The lion's head and body were cast separately in molds, then assembled. The
front legs are being built on a wood framework covered with expended steel mesh, which will then
be finished with a covering of either concrete or mortar.
