The marble panel of Rima, the character in W. H. Hudson’s book, “Green Mansions,” which was erected in Hyde Park as a memorial to the great naturalist and writer, was again disfigured last night by unknown vandals, who tarred and feathered it.
The panel, the work of Jacob Epstein, noted sculptor, was the subject of much controversy when it was set up, many objecting to its extreme modernistic sculpture. In 1925 unknown vandals disfigured the panel with green paint.
