The contract for the Philadelphia group was signed in May, 1878. The
theme French chose was Law, Prosperity and Power. The group is designed of
three figures with a central and dramatic woman, Law, standing sixteen feet
high and holding high above her head the tablets of law. Seated on her right is
a man representing Power, his torso turned to face the standing figure. On
Law’s left is a seated woman representing Prosperity, chest bared and looking
forward. The work was completed in May, 1880.
