The Golden Lady of Jackson Park

Описание к видео The Golden Lady of Jackson Park

The Museum of Science and Industry is housed in the Fine Arts Building, one of the few permanent structures at Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. About a mile south of the museum is another: A 1918 1/3 scale replica of the Fair's Statue of the Republic by sculptor Daniel Chester French, only a short distance from the spot where it originally stood.

Generations of Chicagoans know it, simply, as the Golden Lady. It sits on a base designed by Henry Bacon, who was also the architect of the Lincoln Memorial 4 years later. (The statue of a seated Lincoln inside was French's work).
