Statue of Edmund Burke, Bronze statue in Massachusetts Avenue, United States.
The 8-feet tall bronze sculpture shows Edmund Burke stepping forward with his right leg while waving his hand and holding a three-cornered hat.
This 1922 replica of the Bristol statue was gifted by London's Lord Mayor Charles Wakefield to strengthen US-UK relations after World War I.
The statue honors Edmund Burke, a British parliamentarian who defended American colonial rights and opposed taxation without representation during the Revolutionary period.
The monument stands at the intersection of 11th Street, L Street, and Massachusetts Avenue NW, within Burke Park maintained by National Park Service.
The pedestal inscription reads 'Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom,' reflecting Burke's political philosophy and approach to governance.
