Mermaid Statue by Jacques Ignace Hittorff, 1820
Franklin Street?
New York, September 2007
“Architect and sculptor, Hittorff, created the mermaid and mermen as central characters for the Place de la Concorde fountain in Paris. The fountain underwent renovations at the beginning of the 20th century and these original sculptures, then already one hundred years old, were replaced with replicas that are still standing in the fountains to this day. ” (Centre Pompidou, Urban Archaeology)
