Andrew Jackson
This stereograph of the Jackson Statue was taken by Clark Mills in 1853. It shows the bronze statue of Andrew Jackson in President's Park. Dedicated in 1853, it was one of the first bronze statues cast in the country and the first equestrian statue in the world to be balanced solely on the horse's hind legs. The statue was cast by Mills with help from his enslaved apprentice, Phillip Reid.
