Described by the writer Roger Angell as a "world-class noticer" for his ability to translate observations into drawings, Steinberg was also the architect of imaginary worlds. This monument takes several cues from real ones such as the decorative base, classical column, laurel wreath, and crown-wearing eagle. The hovering inscription seems like a clue, yet it offers us no further context in determining to whom or what Steinberg pays tribute. The inscription, like this monument, is an invention of Steinberg's imagination - a flourish that evades deciphering.
