The bronze figure here is Thomas Jefferson, shown beside a carved inscription of the Declaration of Independence, a pairing that ties the statue to the document he drafted in 1776. Monuments like this one usually sit where people can read the text as they look up at the man, so the two work as a single argument about the nation's founding principles. Jefferson's draft of the Declaration, revised by the Continental Congress, declared that all men are created equal, a phrase that later generations would revisit again and again. Bronze was a common choice for American memorials of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries because it weathers well and holds fine detail in the features and fabric.
