WOMEN: Goddess
(2 of 2)
In 1905-07, Artist Saint Gaudens modeled for the U.S. Treasury. He designed a $10 gold piece with a Liberty head, to which, at President Roosevelt's behest, he added an Indian warbonnet. This is known as the Mary Cunningham design— posed by an Irish maid. The Saint Gaudens $20 gold piece, showing a full-length Liberty, was modeled from a Swedish woman up to the neck, and the profile head from the Irish model.
