Enid Bland Yandell poses in her Red Cross uniform holding one of her Birthday Beasts (also known as Wind in the Willows, 1926). Her small plaster titled The Pioneer (also known as Daniel Boone, 1924) plus one more beast sits on the table. Small, table sculptures were popular during the late 19th and early 20th century due to the rise of middle class incomes.
