I may need your assistance with this one. The name of the artists from any of my sources mentions Leopold Scholz as the artists. However, I personally visited and took all the images you see below. What or who is the name Herodotus is engraved below the mail carriers motto. Are you more familiar with this than me? What do you make of the engraved name on the bronze?
Please comment and share below.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
