This photograph shows a sculpture carved in granite, set within an architectural setting, and the record credits Bela Lyon Pratt (1867-1917) as its maker. Pratt trained in Boston and Paris and became one of the best-known American sculptors of the Beaux-Arts period, when public monuments and building ornament were often designed to work together. Granite was a durable choice for such work, valued for its weather resistance and the crisp, architectural lines it allowed. The record does not name the exact site or date, so the image is best read as an example of how sculpture was integrated into the civic buildings of the era.
