George Cooke (1788-1873)<br />http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=5787829<br /><br />The bust might not be by Erastus Dow Palmer, though Palmer did create a small medallion with Cooke's likeness for the YMA which they gave to him in thanks for the donation. Cooke's book Professional Experience in Various Climates: A Complete Practical Treatise on Genital Malagies; With Pathological Observations on the Philosophy of Reproduction, Spermatorrhoea, and Their Immediate and Remote Consequences Together with the More Successful Management of Women and Children as Adopted at the Present Day, 2nd edition, mentions a "a splendid Marble Bust was executed and sent to his residence in the United States", the artist who created the bust being "E.H. Bailey of the Royal Academy of London".<br /><br />His obituary's interesting, as are his verbose and illustrated advertisements in newspapers around the state.
