George Washington in his Revolutionary War uniform shakes hands with English-born Robert Morris, on his right, and Polish-Jewish émigré Hyam Salomon, on his left. Morris, a banker and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his colleague Salomon, are considered the major financiers of the American Revolution. A bronze plaque on the base pictures an assemblage of figures, of many different origins, seated around a figure of Liberty. Liberty stretches out her arms to embrace all.
