A side photograph of The Joy of Effort plaque by Robert Tait McKenzie. This plaque is of three hurdlers and is acknowledged as one of the most compellingly beautiful things that McKenzie produced. A pattern has been made that is perfectly adapted and fitted to the flat circular space, yet one that expresses the vital "joy of effort" both abstractly and intimately. For more information on R. Tait Mckenzie, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/720. Handwritten on the back of the image, "583-6"
