- Lot Description
Lot of 6 CDVs featuring US Capitol statuary, credited to G.D. Wakely, all but one copyrighted 1866. Scenes include a view of of The Dying Tecumseh statue by Ferdinand Pettrich; two views of the sculpture group, The Rescue by Horatio Greenough; one view of the Discovery of America sculpture group by Luigi Persico, featuring a naked cowering Indian woman; one view of the Peace statue by Luigi Persico (a companion piece to the War statue by the same artist); and a view of the seated George Washington statue by Horatio Greenough.
Though a replica of the Peace statue by Luigi Persico is the only one of the featured pieces still on display at the Capitol building, The Dying Tecumseh by Ferdinand Pettrich and Horatio Greenough's George Washington statue are currently exhibited at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery and the National Museum of American History, respectively. Alternatively, The Rescue by Horatio Greenough and Discovery of America by Luigi Persico were both removed from their locations near the eastern façade of the Capitol in 1958 after years of protests.
CDVs have light wear to edges and light soiling and discoloration throughout. Mounts have some wear to edges.Condition
