ANONYMOUS, AMERICAN, 19TH CENTURY, SCULPTED BY JOHN QUINCY ADAMS WARD. Central Park, Statue of the Indian Hunter

Central Park, Statue of the Indian Hunter. Artist: Anonymous, American, 19th century; Sculpted by John Quincy Adams Ward (American, Urbana, Ohio 1830-1910 New York). Dimensions: image: 4 13/16 x 8 in. (12.3 x 20.3 cm)
sheet: 5 9/16 x 8 7/16 in. (14.1 x 21.5 cm). Series/Portfolio: Manual of the Corporation of the City of New York. Date: 1869.
In 1869, a committee of public spirited New Yorkers raised funds for a monumental new bronze cast of Ward's famous sculpture, then presented the work to the commmissioners of Central Park. This lithograph appeared in the city's annual report, and shows the sculpture on its pedestal admired by strolling families. The contributors noted that, "both in Europe and America [Ward's work]...justly ranks as among the best examples of the plastic art for its bold and vigorous treatment, and its truthful delineation....truly American in subject...admirably executed by one of our native and most celebrated sculptors. We trust it may find a fitting place in the great Park which is so much admired and appreciated, not only by our own citizens, but by all who visit the great metropolis.".
