Introduction
 

In honor of the memorial's dedication a century ago, the full-scale plaster from Cornish has been restored and placed on display at the National Gallery of Art (right image) through a joint effort by the National Gallery and the National Park Service, which oversees the sculptor's home as a national historic site. A duplicate bronze (left image) was cast from the original plaster and is displayed at Cornish.
