This was one of two sculptures at the Lewis and Clark Exposition that depicted this battle between a cow and a lynx. The sculptures were done by Edward Clark Potter. Born in 1857, Potter worked as an assistant to renowned sculptor Daniel Chester French and went on to create dozens of memorial, animal and heroic statues in American cities. He is most famous for designing the marble lions that guard the entrance of the New York Public Library.
