THREE MONUMENTS BY F. GRAETZ

"For all you can hold in your cold dead hand is what you have given away".

Illustration shows buildings identified as "Vanderbilt's Palace" at 640 5th Avenue, New York, N.Y., and "Cooper Institute to Science and Art", also a banner labeled "Stewart's Cathedral", referring to the Cathedral of the Incarnation, "established as a memorial to and mausoleum for Alexander Turney Stewart", shown in the background in Garden City, New York. Symbols of wealth frame the left side and symbols of art and science frame the right side. Includes a quote by Joaquin Miller, "For all you can hold in your cold dead hand is what you have given away".
