Monument to the Republic of Paris, 1879 National Square Monument

Ten years before the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the city of Paris launched a competition for the Honor Monument of the New Republic located in the east of Paris. The Morris brothers won the competition, and their Republic Monument is now located on Republic Square. But Jules Darrow's project attracted Paris city councilors, who commissioned him to make bronze for the current Place de la Nation. The victory of the Republic opened in 1899. As a fervent republican, Dalloway chose to provide impetus for his monument, leading humanity towards a new golden age.
