Summary
| Description | A statue of Benjamin Franklin which stands across from the New York Times Building at 41 Park Row at Spruce Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City.

Franklin is holding a copy of his Pennsylvania Gazette. The statue's pedestal says: "Benjamin Franklin / 1706-1790 / Printer Patriot Philosopher Statesman / Presented by Albert De Groot to the Press and Printers of New York City / Unveiled January 17, 1872 / Ernst Plassman, sculptor" |
