  • American Revolution Statuary is a group of fourteen statues in Washington, D.C., listed with the National Register of Historic Places. The statues are scattered across Washington, mainly in squares and traffic circles, with four statues of European officers displayed in Lafayette Square, across from the White House In accordance with Executive Order 11593, by President Richard Nixon, the National Park Service surveyed and registered Statuary of people of the American Revolution in Washington, D.C. to aid in their preservation. All but one of the statues are cast in bronze. Franklin's statue was carved in marble. Five of the statues depict American military men, two American politicians (Franklin and Witherspoon), and an eighth statue, that of Artemas Ward, depicts a military man who was also governor of Massachusetts. Five statues depict European officers who aided the American cause, and the one of Edmund Burke, a British politician who spoke out for the American cause. The U.S. Congress authorized the original placement of all the statues, and all but four (Burke, Franklin, Hale, and Witherspoon) were fully paid for with federal funds. (en)

Cinq des statues représentent des hommes militaires américains, deux autres (Franklin et Witherspoon) font référence à des politiciens américains, et une huitième statue, celle de Artemas Ward, concerne un militaire qui était aussi gouverneur du Massachusetts. Cinq statues représentent des officiers européens qui ont aidé la cause américaine, et l'une d'elles (Edmund Burke), un politicien britannique qui a parlé en faveur de la cause américaine. À part quatre de ces œuvres (Burke, Franklin, Hale et Witherspoon) toutes les autres ont été entièrement payées par des fonds fédéraux. (fr)
