翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク The Boy with the Leaking Boot ： ウィキペディア英語版 The Boy with the Leaking Boot ''The Boy with the Leaking Boot'' is a statue showing a young boy, with a bare right foot, holding up his right boot and looking at it. The statue is about tall, and in many cases forms a fountain, with water emerging from the toe of the boot. There are at least 24,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The boy and the Boot )〕 and reportedly "hundreds" of examples. The origins of the statue are obscure. The boy is reported to be a young Italian newspaper seller who drowned, or an American army drummer-boy who carried water in his leaking boot to help fallen comrades,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leaking Boot )〕 or a young fire-fighter either using his boot in a bucket chain or emptying his boot after an incident,〔 or possibly none of these. The statue has also been called ''The Boy with the Leaky Boot'', ''Boy Immigrant'' and ''Unfortunate Boot''.〔 ==Origins== The exact origin of the "Boy with the Boot" statue/fountains has been uncertain. But, it appears the first statues appeared in the U.S. c.1895 and were thought to have been purchased in Europe by wealthy travelers on the "Grand European Tour". Many stories relate the statues came from Germany, but that has not been confirmed. However, a connection between the statue and Germany may have more validity when Patrick Patterson of Clovis, California purchased what was purported to be the "original" bronze molds for the Boy with the Boot statue in 1998 from an antique dealer (Lamoine Abbott) of San Angelo, Texas. These molds of the Boy with the Boot statue were sold to the Texas dealer by "Midwest Exchange, Inc." of Shawnee, Wisconsin in 1981. Midwest Exchange Inc. related the molds came from a "Mr. Henry Braun, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr. Braun was believed to have emigrated from Germany in the 1920's and may have brought these molds with him. Interestingly, it was stated Henry Braun was an "uncle" of Eva Braun. The bronze molds are probably the "original" molds because the "original" statues were cast in "white metal" (zinc) by a process of "slurry casting"...a process quite different from lost wax casting methods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Boy with the Leaking Boot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
