Senate Front, Washington D. C. c1900. Creator: Kilburn Brothers
Senate Front, Washington D.C. c1900. The entrance to the United States Senate, in the north wing of the Capitol Building. The marble sculpture, entitled The Rescue, was made by Horatio Greenough between 1837 and 1850, and depicts a confrontation between an American Indian warrior and a pioneer family. In 1939 it was recommended that the sculpture be "...ground into dust, and scattered to the four winds, that no more remembrance may be perpetuated of our barbaric past, and that it may not be a constant reminder to our American Indian citizens". It was finally removed in 1958. Stereocard. [Kilburn Brothers, Littleton, New Hampshire, c1900]
