In 1930 she began working for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, sculpting life-sized statues of the various races and eventually completed 105 heads and full-length figures. These were initially set up in the Hall of Man and the stories of her trip to track down the various models for the races form the basis of her first book, 'Heads and Tales'." -- Wikipedia.
