William Henry Seward, Bronze monument in Madison Square Park, United States.
The William Henry Seward statue displays the statesman seated in an armchair with books and documents placed beneath his feet in bronze.
Created by sculptor Randolph Rogers and dedicated in 1876, this statue represents the first monument in New York City depicting a local resident.
The monument pays tribute to Seward's role as Secretary of State under President Lincoln and his significant contribution to the Alaska Purchase.
