Great photo (and wonderful site!). The location of this statue is of importance - in the 19th Century, Park Rpw was called "newspaper row,' amd actually contained the tallest building in the world from 1890-1894, Joseph Pulitzer's "New York World" headquarters. The New York Times, The New York World, The Sun and Horace Greeley's "New York Tribune" were all headquartered on Park Row to take advantage of the proximity to both City Hall and Wall Street.
