Circle of Friends #05, Jules Édouard Roiné, Marquis de Lafayette, November 1911

Bronze, 76.7 x 47.1 mm, 116 g

Obverse-- Lafayette the hero facing left, modeled as a young man.

Reverse-- Liberty is shown, striding forward; the figures in the clouds tell of the influence by our Revolution upon that of France. The smoke indicates the chaos that accompanied the latter. Liberty carries the flags of the new Republic and the French Monarchy. Preceded by the American eagle, she is sending her cry of welcome across the sea.
