File:Pan Teaching the Birds to Sing Hereford. Photo by Phillip Medhurst 1992.jpg

English: “Pan Teaching the Birds to Sing.” Height 6 ft. An advertising brochure produced by Walter Gilbert for The Bromsgrove Guild - "Sculpture for the Garden" - has the following caption: “Pan is by no means the lewd drunken rascal generally supposed - it is only in later times that he is confused with Satyrs and Sileni. Pan is the friend of young birds and the lover of their songs. When he walks through the woods the leaves of the trees rustle whispering to him; he is the spouse of Echo who dwells in the hills; the scout; the keeper of the horned sheep; the fruitful god; the guardian of the hives and the friend of fishermen. In the sculpture herewith shewn Pan is teaching the young birds their songs - the Owl sulked and hid himself. To this day the Owl does not sing. Height of Statue 6 ft. Material Lead. Price Two hundred guineas. Copyright reserved by the artists." Modelled by Louis Weingartner and cast by The Bromsgrove Guild. Photographed by Phillip Medhurst in 1992 in the Herefordshire garden of R. W. Gilbert. Leadwork 1906, Photo 1992. https://www.scribd.com/doc/17256374/Walter-Gilbert-Main-Inventory
