Standing as a solemn tribute to the local veterans of World War I, this mid-century view features the World War Memorial at O'Donnell Memorial Park in Atlantic City. Completed in 1923, the Beaux-Arts style rotunda is famously inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Rome. The illustration highlights the circular structure's Doric columns and the frieze inscribed with significant battle sites of the Great War. At its center sits the heroic bronze statue "Liberty in Distress" by French sculptor Frederick MacMonnies, making this one of the city's most architecturally significant monuments.
