Exhibition Label: "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts," Mar-2010, Steve Goddard In 1919 a temporary but monumental victory arch was erected in Madison Square Garden in New York City to celebrate the armistice (the agreement to end the War, signed by Germany and the Allies on November 11, 1918). The statuette exhibited here was made from the model for the figure of Disarmament, one of several allegorical figures featured near the summit of the triumphal arch. Daniel Chester French also carved the monumental figure of the seated Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
