Washington Crossing the Delaware's Stone Twin in Trenton, NJ: A Centennial

Take a gander at Washington Crossing the Delaware, a stunning 1876 marble statue, sculpted by the genius Italian Fratelli Gianfranchi. These chaps replicated Emanuel Leutze's painting and its mojo harks back to the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolution. Originally belonging to Mahlon Dickerson Eyre, a Philadelphia banker, ol' Washington was exhibited but not officially 'Presented' at the Centennial Exposition in 1876, instead of being sold.

That's quite the logical paradox, if you ask me. Fast forward to 1892, and the Washington Monument, as it eventually came to be known, was unveiled and dedicated in Trenton, New Jersey. You'll spot ol' George crossing the Delaware in a boat, just like in the painting. Today, you can still find him standing tall in Trenton's Mill Hill district, nestled next to the Douglass House, where General Washington once commandeered the Continental Army during the winter of 1776-1777. When the bicentennial bash arrived in 1976, ol' George was moved to a plaza near the Douglass House.
