Description
The Coit Tower sign for this 10′ x 10′ PWAP fresco “Banking and Law” by George Harris reads:
“While the stocks continue to plunge and bags of money are guarded, lawyers pour over books in a law library. The artist’s sense of humor is evident in the titles of books and the authors to whom he attributes the titles.”
