The statue shown here honors Edward Douglas White, a Louisiana-born lawyer who served as Chief Justice of the United States from 1910 until his death in 1921, making him one of the few Southerners to lead the Supreme Court in that era. The bronze was the work of sculptor Bryant Baker, who was known for public monuments and portrait figures in the early 20th century. The photograph records the monument as it stood after its 1926 dedication in New Orleans, a city that often used civic statuary to mark its own prominent native sons. The record's details come from an unverified caption card, so the exact site and dedication particulars are worth checking against other sources.
