Notes (Roving Rube): This is the top half of yesterday's sculpture, which hangs over the door of La Maison Francaise at Rockefeller Center. It depicts a get-together between the patron goddesses of Paris and New York, each showing off their toys.

The inscription behind Paris reads, "Fluctuat nec mergitur", or "It is tossed by waves but does not sink". (Source: Blue Guide New York.)
