Weinman.[2]

Description and history

The work was made of marble[3] and sculpted by the Piccirilli Brothers,[4][5] with each sculptural group costing $13,500 (Шаблон:Inflation).[4] The sculptures were first shown to the public in 1905.[3] From east to west, the statues depict larger-than-life-size personifications of Asia, America, Europe, and Africa.[6][3] The primary figures are female, but there are also auxiliary human figures flanking each primary figure. In addition, Asia's figure is paired with a tiger, and Africa's figure is paired with a lion.[3]
