Two black and white mounted photographs of Missouri sculptor Joseph Horchert with works of art.

Horchert is pictured on scaffolding (right) with another unidentified man (left). The model appears to be a small scale version of the William Penn bronze cast by Alexander Milne Calder which sits atop Philadelphia City Hall.
