Storyboard page for Roots of Knowledge Panel V-3

This is panel V-3 from the sketch notebook or storyboard of Trevor Petersen, artist and historian, which he created for the initial design phase of the Roots of Knowledge stained glass project at Holdman Studios in Lehi, Utah. Mr. Petersen describes this page: 'Over here we have the 1920s. We have the WWI period, the Progressive Era, the Roaring Twenties, the plaza extends over here, and something that gets a lot of focus in here is the acknowledgement of the First World War. We wanted to acknowledge that in a very respectful, very sacred way, so we've combined a lot of the structures from various memorials from around the world, to be fair, because we didn't want to just focus on just one countries' sacrifice. We acknowledge the sacrifices of many countries. This cenotaph was found in Whitehall. And on the cenotaph we have statuary from memorials in New Zealand, France, America, and Germany. We have sort of the Roaring Twenties attire going on with some of these people and some of the entertainers who were active, like Josephine Baker, F.W. Murnau, Harlem Renaissance writers, Mary [Nancy] Astor, the first female Member of Parliament.'
