EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Statue of William Penn in the Courtyard of City Hall, Philadelphia. The image, captured by an American photographer in the 19th century, is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. The statue itself is a masterpiece designed by Alexander Milne Calder, standing as the largest single piece of sculpture on any building worldwide. Its placement in city hall square for one year before its installation on the tower on November 8th, 1894, adds to its allure and grandeur. The architectural style of City Hall is second empire, with its distinctive mansard roof adding elegance to the overall design. This magnificent structure stands tall as a symbol of civic pride and represents America's rich history. The bronze statue captures William Penn (1644-1718), founder of Pennsylvania, whose legacy continues to shape this great city. His presence exudes strength and wisdom while reminding us of our roots and heritage. Photographed with impeccable detail and clarity, this image allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the historical importance that surrounds it. It serves as a timeless reminder of Philadelphia's past while inspiring future generations to embrace their own sense of civic duty. Displayed at ePhiladelphia History Museum at Atwater Kent, this photograph from Bridgeman Images preserves an important moment in time for all who admire artistry combined with history.
