Daniel Webster

This bust of Daniel Webster was done by an unknown artist. The solid white marble form shows only the details of Webster's face, while the torso is pristine solid stone. Webster was a highly regarded orator and served as secretary of state under three different presidents (William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore). He also served in the House of Representatives and the Senate, representing New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
