In 1850, a French craftsman named Christophe Fratin brought life to the bronze sculpture known as Eagles Prey. Fast forward to 1863, it found a home in Manhattan's Central Park, transforming into the first known sculpture in a park within the city. Remarkably, the park itself is younger than this grand relic of 19th-century Manhattan.
