[KREWSON SR., Martin (1912-2012), sculptor]. Langdon Clemens Waxwork Bust Figure. [N.p., ca. 1970s]. Lifesize bust of Clemens' son who died at the age of 2. This is the only figure in this collection that is a bust ? the rest are full figures. Bust from the shoulders-up, mounted on a pole, in upper portion of a shirt and ribbon tie. This appears to be an older version of Langdon, who never reached past age 2. With small wooden display sign. Figure with human hair and ophthalmologist-grade glass eyes. Figure approximately 47" high. Some wear, occasional soiling. A fine and unusual example of Krewson's art, and the most tragic of all these figures. Langdon was the first and only son of Samuel L. Clemens and his wife, Olivia. He was born prematurely, and his health was weak throughout his short life. After riding with his father, he came down with a cold that developed into diphtheria, which eventually took his life. Clemens blamed himself for his son's death, and he never fully recovered. Third-party transportation required.
