The Monument Sculpture
Evelyn Longman designed the carved base of the monument to depict the many contributions of Illinois to the Union during its first one hundred years. She included Greek classical figures like Mercury, god of commerce and finance, and Ceres, goddess of the harvest. There are Native Americans and pioneers, as well as images of railroad and industry figures – which were modern at the time.
