Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch, New York 1939


 The bronze woman, erect in her chariot, holds aloft a banner and an unsheathed sword. To right and left are winged figures symbolic of victory. Set into the piers supporting the arch are two equestrian bronzes, in relief, representing Lincoln and Grant. The cornerstone for this monument was laid by General Sherman in 1889. The figures were designed by Frederick MacMonnies.
