Quote of material appearing in the 1915 NIE entry for Lukeman

The following quote is from: Colby, Frank Moore & Talcott Williams, eds. (1915). "Lukeman, Henry Augustus (1870–)". New International Encyclopedia (2nd ed.), Vol. 14, p. 461, New York: Dodd, Mead, available at [1], accessed 12 September 2015.

LUKEMAN, Henby Augustus (1870–). An American sculptor. He was born at Richmond, Va., and studied under Launt Thompson and Daniel Chester French in New York and at the Beaux Arts in Paris under Falgui \e re. Lukeman aided French in his statue "The Republic" at the Chicago Exposition and later acted as his assistant in New York. His independent works include monuments, portrait busts and statues, bas reliefs, and ornamental sculpture. They are architecturally effective and often remarkable in conception, as, e.g., in "Manu the Law Giver of India" on the Appellate Court Building, New York. His portrait statues include those of William McKinley (Adams, Mass.); Robert Livingston (St. Louis); Professor Joseph Henry (Princeton University); "Kit Carson," an equestrian statue (Trinidad, Colo.). For the St. Louis Exposition (1904) he modeled the group "Music" (Festival Hall) and decorative sculpture (Electrical Building). Among his other works are four colossal statues for the Royal Bank, Montreal; four figures for the Brooklyn Institute; and the Soldiers Monument at Somerville, Mass.

Completing and re-formatting of Lukeman citations needed

The citations in the article are often lacking dates, authors, page numbers, etc. (are generally incomplete), and in some cases are bare URLs. This needs to be corrected, to set a standard for future improvements to the article. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 16:59, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, noting in addition that the sources of the article are presently extremely dates (apart from the 2006 NYT which does not speak about Lukeman, all 1937 or earlier, and most cited information from 1915). Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 18:29, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
