Statue of the Republic, Bronze sculpture in Jackson Park, Chicago, United States.
The Statue of the Republic rises 24 feet high at the intersection of Hayes and Richards Drives, featuring a female figure holding a globe with an eagle.
Created in 1918 as a smaller replica of the 65-foot original that stood at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, marking Illinois statehood centennial.
The statue design follows classical American public art traditions, with its gilded bronze surface reflecting national values through symbolic elements.
Visitors can find the statue near the former location of the Administration Building, at the south end of Jackson Park.
The Benjamin Ferguson Fund commissioned Daniel Chester French to create this replica, with architect Henry Bacon designing its 10-foot base.
