Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Joint Report of the Commissions on Memorials to Senators Orville Hitchcock Platt and Joseph Roswell Hawley to the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, 1915 The General Assembly accepted the report and passed resolutions appropriating $25,000 to each commission, subsequently providing that whatever part of these sums remained unexpended should be turned over to the Sculpture Commission "for the further decoration and completion of the Capitol building." The two commissions decided upon bronze bas reliefs to be set respectively upon the east and west walls of the north portico of the Capitol. The Platt Commission chose Herman A. MacNeil of New York, and the Hawley Commission chose Herbert Adams of New York. The work of the artists was carried out to the satisfaction of the commissions and of the families of the senators, and the cuts that accompany this report are photographic reproductions of the tablets, which are of heroic size. The dedication took place on Friday, October 18, 1912, at the Capitol. To this the public generally was invited, and special invitations were sent to the President and Vice-President of the United States, the state officers and all ex-governors, the judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, former colleagues of the senators at Washington, members of the General Assemblies of 1879 and 1881, which respectively first elected Messrs. Platt and Hawley to the Senate, all survivors of the Seventh Connecticut Regiment, of which Hawley had been colonel, and members of the families of the two senators and their personal friends. Mayor Louis R. Cheney was marshal of the exercises. The Seventh Regiment veterans were escorted to the Capitol, and subsequently for a brief parade, by the First Company of Governor´s Foot Guards under Major Frank L. Wilcox, and the Putnam Phalanx (of which General Hawley had been a member) under Major E. C. Bigelow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
