Child with Sign Looking at Sculpture of George Washington

Child with Sign Looking at Sculpture of George Washington | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Jane Leeney, in red, white, and blue pants, shirt, and a hat is sitting on a cliff. She is holding a large flag, and a sign beside her reads, "1776-1976 Happy 200th Birthday America." She is watching a truck pulling a trailer with a limestone sculpture of General George Washington crossing the Delaware River. The truck is a red, white, and blue International Harvester COF-4070B truck. The truck is driving on a road beside a body of water, probably a lake, with a large square concrete building in it connected by a walkway. The structure reads "Monroe," and may refer to Monroe, Indiana.
