Description

This bronze-colored statuette depicts Senator Stephen A. Douglas standing with his right foot pointed out to the side, his right arm bent so that his right hand rests inside his coat, and his left hand holding a partially-rolled document. His head is turned slightly toward his left shoulder. The figure stands on a round base with a brass plaque on the front reading, "Stephen Arnold Douglas by Leonard Wells Volk."
