Numerous cuttings from national and regional newspapers, June 1916, commenting on the awaited delivery of the monument and updating readers with Rodin's promise that he would return to work on the piece as soon as possible. Also, his assertion that the work would be delivered to London six months after the end of the [1914-1918] war.
