1. Friends by Sylvia Shaw Judson was commissioned by Robert Douglas Stuart Jr., a Lake Forest resident and CEO of Quaker Oats, and completed in 1969. The statue was Judson’s last major work and her only sculpture to feature two human figures joined together. A copy of the statue was produced at a foundry in New York City in 1982 and installed in Market Square’s central fountain later that year. The fountain was then adorned with a plaque bearing the erroneous title “Girl with Baby on Shoulder,” which was most likely the name used by the foundry to distinguish the statue from other casts. In 2014, Lake Forest resident Paul Melichar, a sculptor who had studied Judson and her work, noticed the error on the plaque and spent the next two years lobbying for the City of Lake Forest to change the title of the sculpture displayed on the plaque to the correct one. Thanks to the Historic Preservation Commission, the plaque was replaced in 2016 with one displaying the correct title.
