Poseidon's sea nymph girlfriends were jealous of Andromeda so Poseidon chained her to a rock at the ocean to be a sacrifice to a sea monster. Along came Perseus on his winged horse Pegasus.

Many people are not really familiar with bronze clad bookends so here’s a little background information. Prior to 1914 just about all high and sculptural artwork was solid bronze. About that time a company named Kathodian Bronze Works began manufacturing small sculptural artwork such as bookends (back then they were called “book rocks”) and statuary using a process imported from Europe around the turn of the century known as electroplating or electroforming. A plaster mold was made and then it was covered with graphite to allow copper or bronze to be electroplated on top of it. It was a very time-consuming process and several companies went one step further by painting the bookends in a very colorful fashion. This was a time-consuming and expensive manufacturing process by the early 1930s most manufacturers had exited the business.
