Ellen Phillips Samuel Memorial - South Terrace (1933-1961)
Various (-)
- Kelly Drive along the Schuylkill River, south of Girard Avenue Bridge
After the second Sculpture International in 1940, the committee selected four sculptors to express the governing themes of the new South Terrace—the settlement of the eastern coast and the emergence of the United States as an independent, democratic nation. The two principal groups were carved as reliefs, the other four sculptures as free-standing figures.
