Description

The slide shows a version of the bronze statue by Karl Bitter depicting the Robert Livingston (standing), James Monroe (seated) and Francois Barbe-Marbois signing of the document -- the Louisiana Purchase -- in Paris in 1803. The sculpture was originally made for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition -- the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair -- and made from staff, a temporary plaster and fiber material. It was later recast in bronze and located in the Missouri Capitol Complex in Jefferson City. From lantern slide presentation for the 1964 bicentennial of St. Louis' founding in 1764.
