"Old Man of the Mountain" (also called
"Great Stone Face") is the age-old erosional remnant of granite is the
state symbol of New Hampshire. 
Here shown on a 1955 commemroative U.S. postage stamp, it also is the
focus of the New Hampshire's $.25 coin of the U.S. sates series. 
This granite profile (height ~12.5 m.), which jutted out as a cliff
from near the top of Cannon Mountain near Franconia Notch, was held
together for several decades by steel rods <I>etc.</I> until May 2,
2003, when it met a Humpty Dumpty fate.  The fall, which destroyed
the profile, led to several diverse suggestions as to what might be
done to the remains -- see, for example, Susan Ager (<I>Detroit Free
Press</I>, 11 May 2003, p.K1).  (© <I>photo of stamp by
