Pallas Athena, 1897

Statue of Pallas Athena outside the Parthenon, displayed at the Tennessee Centennial Exposition in Nashville, Tennessee. The statue was twenty-five feet tall (forty feet with the base) and became the symbol of the Exposition. It was an exact copy of the "Pallas de Velletrie" in the Louvre and was produced in staff, a combination of plaster, hemp, and cement. It eventually fell apart due to outdoor exposure. Today limited images exist of the full statue, including this one housed at the Filson.
