“The sculpture is a replica of the Lafayette sculpture outside the Louvre, in Paris. After completion of the Paris sculpture, the artist, Paul Wayland Hartlett, gave
the plaster model to the State of Connecticut, where it was placed in the State Capitol. In 1930, Frances B. Storrs donated $20,000 to make a bronze cast for the City of Hartford. The casting and dedication took
place in 1932.”
