On either side of a broad street, “Vanderbilt’s Palace” and the “Cooper Institute to Science and Art” appear. In the distance is “Stewart’s Cathedral” (the Cathedral of the Incarnation, built as a memorial and mausoleum for Garden City’s founder Alexander Turney Stewart). Symbols of wealth frame the left side and symbols of art and science frame the right side. Puck is seated at center, over a quote by Joaquin Miller: “For all you can hold in your cold dead hand is what you have given away.”
