Whoever is ready and willing to work, will have work; and the more he does, the more work will come to him. Work does not seek the idle man, but thrusts itself upon the industrious one.
American Rococo Revival mirror
Mid-19th century
This American Rococo Revival carved gesso and gilt framed mirror rises 7.5 feet high and just over 5 feet wide. At the top rests a human head looking down. Seward owned two of these mirrors and both were used in his Washington home from 1855-1860. Both are on display in the Seward House Museum.
