Franklin appears here as bronze rather than as a living figure: the statue is shown lit against the dark, so its features and posture stand out sharply. Benjamin Franklin was a printer, scientist and diplomat who helped draft the Declaration of Independence and later negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, and public statues of him became common in American cities during the 19th and 20th centuries. Night photography of such monuments was a popular way to treat civic sculpture as a subject in its own right, giving it drama that daylight views often lack. Worth noticing is how the lighting shapes the bronze, turning a weathered surface into highlights and shadows.
