Long Toppled Statue of King George III Will Ride Again

On Saturday October 22, the NY Times published a wonderful article about the reconstruction of this statue by StudioEIS. The article was written by David Dunlap who did a great job with the story. "His Majesty's protuberant eyes were fixed cruelly on his New York Subjects. His voluptuous lips were set in steely resolve. Towering on a marble base above Bowling Green, the gilded equestrian statue of King George III evoked a Roman emperor: With right arm upraised over the heads of the rabble, his message to a colony in revolutionary turmoil was plain enough: Don't even think about it." The sculpture now complete - here is a link to the story as it appeared online at the Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/nyregion/toppled-statue-of-king-george-iii-to-ride-again.html

I hope you enjoy the piece which will be unveiled at the Museum of the American Revolution next April
