Four lionslie around Grant. The reflecting pool, installed in 1970, enhances this view of the Capitol but, unfortunately, detracts from the Grant memorial and makes it harder to reach as one comes walking east on the mall.010400_All_FmNW.jpg010410_USGAndCav_FmNE.jpg010710_All_WithWashMon_FmE.jpg010720_USG_WithWashMon_FmE.jpgUlysses S. Grantand the lionswith the Washington monument in the background. A small part of the Lincoln memorial can be seen behind the base of the Washington monument. When the mall was designed the intention was that it would be terminated on its west & east ends by monuments to the wartime president (Lincoln) and his commanding general (Grant).010810_USG_WithWashMon_FmE.jpg010800_USG_WithCapitol_FmW.jpgUlysses S.

You'll have a better view here than if you were standing in front of it. 014000_Inf_FmS.jpg south sideof Grant's pedestal. Shrady sketched the two panels in clay but his death left them unfinished. He had reluctantly hired a young assistant, Edmund Amateis, to assist him but was still unable to finish. They were completed by sculptor Sherry Fry and installed in 1924.

This panel differs from the north sidein several ways. Here the infantry is moving on perhaps in preparation for their next battle. Notice that ... (1) The soldiers have bedrolls, (2) Bayonettes have been stowed, and (3) The drummer boy has his drum slung over his back. Here's a close look at the drummer on the other panel.

Two of the three artillerymen, seated on the caisson, are visible in the background. According to a plaqueon the east side of this group, the man featured here was modeled by USMA cadet Henry J. Weeks of the class of 1908. To his left, the guidon(modeled by Fairfax Ayres) seems to be calling out`to signal a turn as he holds the guidon flagin his left hand. Forward of the wheel driver, the 'lead driver'(modeled by James E. Chaney) struggles to bring the lead horse, front legs pawing the air, under control. Close inspection reveals that part of the gear holding that horse to the team has broken.

Other Inscriptions on the Grant Memorial:
  • The artillery group bears three inscriptions (that I know of);
    1. the models for three of the six men here are identified on theeast sideof the group.
    2. The west side bears the less discernible inscriptionHenry Merwin Shrady 1911, and
    3. few have noticed that directly beneath the caisson a plate reads,'1911 This (?) group (?) is (?) affectionately dedicated by the sculptor to Alice (?) V Morris and Dave (?) H Morris'.
  • The cavalry group bears an equally mysterious inscription, a tribute to one
    • Helen M. Wrighton the stirrupof the fallen rider. The east side of that group also bears the artist's name & the year, but unlike that on the artillery group, this inscription, 'H M Shrady 1915'is scratched on rather than engraved. I wonder what's the meaning of the triangle with a vertical line down its middle.
  • In the central group the base of each lion identifies the
    • artiston one side & where the bronze was caston the other. The artist is also identified on the south side of the Grant/Cincinnatus base (look near the horse's rear hoof). I can't tell yet if there's anything on the north side -- the sun isn't cooperating.

107 Fallen rifle beside the caisson in the artillery group.
108 Rutted ground of the artillery group

110 I think this is one of the seams (cavalry group). It's said that the groups were cast in several different pieces & I guess this is where two of the pieces come together.
111 A shrub (?) in the right-front portion of the cavalry group
112 Udders on a mare (cavalry group I think). Well, it's an important detail, OK?

114 Inscription on the west side of the artillery group, "Henry Merwin Shrady 1911"
115 Inscription under the caisson in the artillery group, "This group is affectionately dedicated by the sculptor to Alice V. Morris and Dave H. Morris". According to Dennis Montagna, "Dave Hennen Morris was one of Shrady's best friends. Morrise wrote an essay, 'Homage to Henry Merwin Shrady, Sculptor 1871-1922" when Shrady was posthumously inducted into the NYU Hall of Fame in 1942."

128 Beneath the cannon in the artillery group. What's this thing called?
129 The pin connecting the cannon carriage to the caisson in the artillery group.

133 The man on the left-rear of the cavalry group. His rifle appears to be broken.
134 This sword (held by the commander of the cavalry group) has had to be replaced more than once I'm told. Earlier pictures of the group show the sword missing.
