Indian and the Puritan is a 1916 marble and bronze monument by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, opposite 5 Washington Street, the Newark Public Library, in Washington Park of Newark in Essex County, New Jersey.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994, as part of the Public Sculpture in Newark, New Jersey Multiple Property Submission.[4]
History and description
The monument is a 22-foot (6.7 m) bronze lamp standard featuring two carved marble sculptures, a Native American and a Puritan. The lamp standard has Newark's city seal and two inscriptions that describe the city's history.[3] The monument was commissioned by the city to commemorate its 250th anniversary, 1666–1916. It was moved to its current location in Washington Park in 1977.[4]
Other sculptures by Borglum in Newark are: Seated Lincoln (1911), First Landing Party of the Founders of Newark (1916), and Wars of America (1926).[5]
