A recent consideration of the options of home office decor has sprung to mind the idea of a small statue to honor a historical figure. Merely placing a tasteful bust statue on a shelf nearby could set the proper studious tone for a writing lair and lend an air of gravitas. Perhaps a representation of Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Jefferson, Churchill or the like would feel at home in a modern study with retro pretensions. Or perhaps in this woke age it would be best to eschew figures of past heroics now deemed ignominious and to prefer a more neutral emblem of esteem, such as an object from nature. This writer welcomes the fervent, earnest, though well-considered, opinion regarding such.
