The Spirit of Giving - a photo on Flickriver

            Along a snowy Arlington Street near Beacon Street in the Back Bay is The Spirit of Giving sculpture in the Public Garden.  Otherwise known as the George Robert White Memorial, it celebrates the generous philanthropic gift of $5,000,000 (equivalent to over $85,000,000 in 2023) to the City of Boston upon his death in 1922.  The George Robert White fund is specifically and solely to be used for "creating public beauty and utility for the inhabitants of the city, and cannot be used for any of the normally provided services of the municipality".  Among its most well known endeavors is the Paul Revere statue and Mall in the city's North End.  The 1924 memorial itself is made up of the angel sculpture by Daniel Chester French and architecture by Henry Bacon, a team more famous for their work on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.  Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

A lo largo de la calle Arlington bajo nevada cerca de la calle Beacon en el Back Bay se encuentra la escultura The Spirit of Giving (Espiritu de Donacion) en el Jardin Publico. También conocido como George Robert White Memorial, celebra la generosa donación filantrópica de $ 5,000,000 (equivalente a más de $ 85,000,000 en 2023) a la ciudad de Boston tras su muerte en 1922. El fondo de George Robert White se utilizará específica y únicamente para "crear belleza pública y utilidad para los habitantes de la ciudad, y no puede ser utilizada para ningun otro servicio normalmente hecho por el municipio”. Entre sus esfuerzos más conocidos se encuentra la estatua de Paul Revere y su plaza en el North End de la ciudad. El monumento de 1924 está formado por la escultura del ángel de Daniel Chester French y la arquitectura de Henry Bacon, un equipo más famoso por su trabajo en el Monumento a Lincoln en Washington, DC. Boston, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos.
