Henry Ward Beecher Monument, Bronze monument in Columbus Park, US.
The Henry Ward Beecher Monument features a central bronze figure with subordinate statues of a Black female and two children at the base.
The monument, unveiled in 1891, was created by sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward using a death mask and photographs of the prominent preacher.
The monument includes figures representing Beecher's dedication to the abolitionist movement and his commitment to children's education in nineteenth-century America.
The monument underwent restoration in 2017 through the Adopt-A-Monument program, which included corrosion removal and application of protective microcrystalline wax.
The granite base, designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, bears an inscription recognizing Beecher as the great apostle of human brotherhood.
