Text Appearing Before Image:
eilings are covered with marble mosaicsfrom cartoons by H, T Schladermundt, after designs by E, P, Casey. Hence thesehalls are sometimes called the mosaic vaults. Tablets bearing the names of literati,and various trophies, are also pleasingly introduced ; and at intervals upon the wallssemicircular spaces or tympanums are utilized for some of the most brilliant and inter-esting paintings in the building. It would be well to make the circuit of these hallsbefore going elsewhere. The West Hall is the Entrance Vestibule already described. The South Hall lies at the right of the south staircase, and is beautified by paintings(in oil on canvas, glued to the wall by a composition of white lead — as is the case withmost of the other mural paintings here) by H. O. Walker, illustrating Lyric Poetry. The principal one is upon the large tympanum at the east end, and represents LyricPoetry standing in a wood striking a lyre, and surrounded by Pathos, Truth (nude of THE LIBKARY OF COI^^GRESS. 63
