Public art.
Carved marble bust of female figure [28 x 12 x 21 in.]. The sitter wears a crown of stars and a cloak is draped over the proper left (PL) shoulder. The artifact is carved from a single block of white marble and is attached to a white marble sockle with a square base. "H.Power Sculp" is inscribed on the reverse of the sculpture.
America began as a figure symbolizing the republican ideals of the 1848 revolutions in Europe. Powers altered the work in 1850 to make it more symbolic of the Union, as a statement against the Secessionist movement. Powers produced fifteen versions of America -- one of which is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and another in the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University.
America was a gift to the Falmouth Library from George W. Wales.
Powers, Hiram.
Hiram Powers was a sculptor from Washington, D.C. and Florence, Italy. Powers' international success due to his work "Greek Slave," established him as the leading American sculptor of his day.
