"Man
Controlling Trade," two sculptures of horses restrained by men
in front of the Federal Trade Commission on 6th Street between Pennsylvania
and Constitution Avenues, N.W., were designed in the late 1930's by
American artist Michael Lantz (1908-1988) and completed in 1942. The
stonecutter was Jakob Schwalb, president of the Washington Sängerbund
from 1936 to 1937 and 1946 to 1951. [Note: image above is the sculpture
on the Pennsylvania Avenue side].
