The William J. Battle Collection at UT Austin is on permanent display at the Harry Ransom Center and is administrated by the Huntington Art Gallery. Until the late 70s the casts hung around the classrooms, carrels and offices of the Classics Department & were much beloved by students. Dick Brettell, then chairman of the UT Art Department, discoverd their existence and had them trasferred to the Ransom Center as part of a handsome exhibit which included daguerreotypes of the originals. (Local publications occasionally refer to the exhibit as "The Battle Collection of Plaster Cats.") Their display before a second floor gallery window enables me to be mooned by the entire pantheon on my way to work every morning.
