(Some gossip: Johnson was an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune...until his father married the maid and she inherited his money. Bitter battles ensued, but the former maid kept most of the fortune. She lived at the 140-acre Princeton family estate, now a fancy golf course, until her husband's death.)

I can see that being a very photographer friendly locale!
I do like "street art" or perhaps I should say "park sculpture" like this. It adds a wonderful dimension and often conversation to a stroll in the fresh air.
Bench sculptures I've discovered in the USA, we don't seem to have any here. This one is fab!
Curiosa historia y simpática fotografía.

Many times I used his band-aids on me and my family. That makes him an okay guy in my books.
Just wonderful !

Wow! What a story.
oh boy, what a scandal!
Ooh, juicy gossip!
We still like to read the Sunday paper.
Love this reading sculpture in the shadows Lulu.... must admit I still love the act and feel of reading print news (and books :) ... and Ohh was this gossip ever juicy!
Lulu, you photographed this sculpture in a very wonderful way. It's all in the shade and that is what makes it very interesting. And I learned a little bit about Johnson!
Goodness I wonder how many fortunes over the years have gone to the maid, or the nanny, maybe even the stable boy :)) I really like this sculpture Lulu and as I'm one of those who still likes to read the 'actual' paper..I would join him if I could!
I still do
The sad decline of print journalism. A wonderful sculpture.
Nice sculpture.
I guessed that was a Johnson as soon as I saw it. He had a niche for realistic life-size bronzes simulating people in natural contexts. If I ever knew he was from the Johnson & Johnson family, I have forgotten it.
Neat statue and I LOVE the gossip. ;))
I love these sculptures, well spotted and love the history lesson
Wonderful sculpture and loved the added bit of gossip :).
