In the first half of the nineteenth century, the most impressive sculptural monuments in America were under construction in Baltimore. Before New York, Philadelphia, and even Washington, D.C., the city built a monument to George Washington, and Baltimore commissioned the countrys first public monument dedicated to those killed in battle. After touring both these sites in 1827, President John Quincy Adams declared Baltimore the Monumental City, a moniker still used today.Cindy Kelly leads readers to more than 250 sculptures found throughout Baltimore with eighteen walking and driving tours, each with accompanying maps to make finding the pieces easy. Including a brief synopsisincluding title, location, sculptor, date, medium, donorand a photograph, Kelly tells the fascinating stories behind Baltimores monuments.Kelly mined local archives and conducted interviews with contemporary artists to uncover the details behind the citys public sculptures. As she talks about how each piece was commissioned, constructed, and dedicated, the rich cultural, economic, and social history of the city unfolds.From the nineteenthcentury splendor of Mount Vernon Place to the twentiethcentury sculpture of the Inner Harbor, Kelly invites us to see Baltimore in a wholly fresh perspective. Follow her as she guides readers to the extraordinary outdoor art that makes Baltimore the Monumental City.
