"The Eagle", Roscoe Conkling Park, Utica, New York, September 2021 Standing on a high ridge at Roscoe Conkling Park with a commanding view over the downtown skyline of Utica, New York is the city's arguably best-known piece of public art: <i>The Eagle</i>, a six-foot bronze statue of the titular bird sculpted in 1923 by noted artist Charles Keck. A pair of bronze plaques embedded in the marble pedestal relate that the monument was dedicated in memory of prominent hotelier, industrialist and politico Thomas Redfield Proctor (1844-1920), describe Proctor as "an incorruptible citizen and a pure patriot" who, "if asked what he wished in reward for any good public deed... answered 'I want nothing'", and relate the incident in his life that inspired the statue: gifted a caged bald eagle one Fourth of July, he ascended to the roof on Bagg's Hotel, which he owned, and freed the bird. Proctor, too, died on the Fourth of July "and went the way the bird did, seeking his native element and the true father of his country". Another plaque on a different face of the pedestal quotes from the Book of Sirach: "And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them... their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore." <i><b>A NOTE ABOUT LICENSING:</b> The sculpture depicted in this image is the work of an artist who died in 1951, so it falls in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.
