I followed the smart advice on yesterday's Tripping Over My Roots post by Anna Matthews and tried a wordless Google image search using this photo. Nothing. Then I tried adding "1917" but still nothing. Then I tried other search terms, but alas, no matches. So this statue photo remains a mystery on almost Wordless Wednesday.

Okay so this is going to eat at me Marian! I hope someone recognizes the building or something and is able to help identify this statue.
A while back, I posted this photo on a Cleveland-area gen page to ask for ideas but no luck yet. Sigh. Of course I'll keep an eye out for more clues!
Marian, that is a fun mystery.
Colleen, my Philly cousin notes that the columns in the background suggest government buildings, but her searches haven't found anything yet either. Her guess is a statue of Lincoln!
Hmmm. Too bad the image search didn't work. I just want to reach into that photo and remove the cover!
Me too, Anna! It must have been a somewhat important event, given the draping and the photographers lined up to capture the moment. Sigh.
