- Description:
- Printed on back: "Close-up of the head of General Robert E. Lee, carved on the face of Stone Mountain by Gutzon Borglum. A court fight now centers about this head. Mrs. Frank Mason, one of the owners of the mountain, has filed a petition in the DeKalb County superior court of Georgia, asking that Stone Mountain Monumental Association be permanently enjoined from blowing this head off the mountain. Below this head is a full figure of Lee on his horse traveler, carved under the direction of Augustus Lukeman. If the injunction is granted, that means that two heads of Lee will remain on the mountain. The girl shown is in one of the swings formerly used by the workmen on the memorial. Now platforms have been substituted. July 27"
