Justice Waite to photographer Edward Steichen: What do you call this?
Edward Steichen: I use the same term the sculptor did, oiseau, a bird.
Justice Waite: What makes you call it a bird, does it look like a bird to you?
Edward Steichen: It does not look like a bird but I feel that it is a bird, it is characterized by the artist as a bird.
Waite: Simply because he called it a bird does that make it a bird to you?
Steichen: Yes, your honor.
Waite: If you would see it on the street you never would think of calling it a bird, would you?
[Steichen: Silence]
Young: If you saw it in the forest you would not take a shot at it?
Steichen: No, your honor.
