Additional Description: A portrait of novelist James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) sitting on a block with his legs crossed, right over left leg. In his right hand he holds a cane. His left arm is draped over his right knee and in his left hand he holds a wide-brimmed hat. He wears a long overcoat, a shirt with ruffled cuffs, and a bow tie. The sculpture rests on a rectangular base of polished stone, with a plaque mounted on the west side, which faces the Baseball Hall of Fame. The sculpture was made by Victor Salvatore (1885-1965) who was a sculptor, painter, and teacher who lived in New York City and in Springfield Center, a village north of Cooperstown on Otsego Lake. Salvatore also made the statue of the Sandlot Kid, located next to Key Bank on Main Street in Cooperstown.
