Officially, ‘Civic Virtue’, but popularly called, ‘Fat Boy’, the monument depicts a muscle man towering majestically overhead. Unfortunately, MacMonnies, the sculptor, carved it with the hero trampling saver a woman underfoot. A marble foot crushes her neck. Banished from City Hall Park, the city places it in front of Queens Borough Hall with official blessing but without general public approval. It is given with Manhattan’s complements. The statue is dedicated at the long-awaited(?) ceremony. Does anyone care? What arrangements have been made for handling the crowds(?) Borough President Harvey does not state the plans(?) |

(Attilio and Furio also sculpted Daniel Chester French’s statute of Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial and the Lions in front of bulo the New York Public Library.) Civic Virtue stood in front of City Hall [see the 1923 picture] until Mayor La Guardia decided he was sick of being mooned by it everytime he left the office. In 1941, La Guardia finally thought of a way to get rid of the thing. He made a gift of the statue to Queens County in honor of the opening of its new Borough Hall. Civic Virtue was moved to the park next to Borough Hall where it has remained since. |
