"Detail of the Dewey Triumphal Arch, New York City "
Karl Bitter

The Dewey Triumphal Arch was originally located at 5th Avenue and Madison Square in New York City.
Constructed in 1899 staff (the same material used in the Exposition buildings), it was an arch modeled
from the Arch of Titus in Rome and featured sculptural items by 27 sculptors. Above is a detail of
Karl Bitter's contribution which was featured in the photograph exhibited on the Scultpure Gallery wall.

The arch was sent to Charleston, South Carolina, for their 1902 Exposition, where it was lost. A photograph
of the entire arch can be found on this page: http://www.mcny.org/byron/GCAphysical.htm
