Young Boy by Longworth Powers, c. 1870-1880

Powers was born in Cincinnati, Ohio as the eldest son of sculptor Hiram Powers. He spent one semester at the United States Military Academy at West Point, after which he was asked to leave, and then attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute without obtaining a degree. After his family moved to Florence in 1835, Powers worked as a bookkeeper in his father's studio and learned the sculptor's craft. He returned to America for some years but in 1860 returned to Florence as a photographer and sculptor. He died in Florence.[1]

gollark: Oh, that *is* true.
gollark: It does describe it quite well, I think.
gollark: That's the help text for it.
gollark: ```Eggs and hatchlings can become sick when they receive too many views, unique views, and clicks in a short period of time. Although sickness can occur at any time, eggs are most vulnerable when first laid. If an egg or hatchling continues to receive too many views, unique views, and clicks while sick, it may die.To “cure” an egg or hatchling of sickness, simply reduce the rate at which it is receiving views, unique views, and clicks. This may be as simple as removing the egg or hatchling from any sites you have posted it on. Since the hide action prevents eggs and hatchlings from receiving views, unique views, and clicks, it can be a useful tool at combating sickness.```
