[edit] Summary

---Bronze sculpture of Christopher Columbus--- Signed: J. SUÑOL and FEDERICO MASRIERA, FUNDIDOR BARCELONA, 1892. The Columbus shown here is much older than the one at Columbus Circle, with bags under his eyes, lines bracketing his mouth, receding hairline. He wears a heavy chain with a profile portrait of a woman, probably Queen Isabella, although I haven't been able to confirm that.Behind Columbus to his right is a capstan (for winding ropes on a ship), on top of which rests a globe. The flag Columbus holds has the arms of Spain and is surmounted by a cross. The base is about 8 feet, the statue 7 feet tall.
