Christopher Columbus at the Foot of Broadway on the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian


(The American Architect, 25 Feb 1905)

Is that a snake or an alligator coming out of Chris Columbus's ass?


Sculptor Augustus Lukeman, artist of Stone Mountain Monument Georgia fame started out small in 1905 with a statue of "Genoa" represented by butcher, rapist Chris Columbus on the local New York City custom house. Ironically the old Cass Gilbert designed Custom House is now the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. Irony in that. Mums the world. Wink. Nod. You never heard this from me.  LOL LMAO
