The Los Angeles Public Library and Alta magazine and its publisher announced on Tuesday a $10,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of the sculpture’s lost pieces. The bronze sculpture — which honored history’s great writers — mysteriously vanished more than 50 years ago when the downtown L.A. library underwent a makeover. An antiques dealer in Arizona read Reynolds’ article and realized he had one of the sculpture’s missing pieces. After contacting the L.A. Public Library, City Librarian John F. Szabo traveled to the Grand Canyon State to bring back the section. Photo of the Well of the Scribes sculpture, missing from L.A. Library since 1969.
