Statue of Kosciuszko - Cleveland, OH - Postcard, c. 1910s
(3 1/2 x 5 1/2 In) This is an original antique W. W. Hixson & Co. postcard from the 1910s. It shows a view of the bronze statue of Tadeusz Kościuszko, American Revolutionary War hero, outside the West Wing of the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio.
Kościuszko was a Polish army officer and statesman. This statue was sculpted by Gaitano Trentanove and dedicated on May 8, 1905. It is eight feet high, and stands on a pedestal that is 12 feet high. Clevelanders of Polish descent conceived and paid for the work.
