We have created this bronze patina on black base of the portraiture of Benjamin Franklin bust. This Franklin bust statue make a wonderful gift, awards and trophies. When Benjamin Franklin arrived in Paris in 1776, representing his now independent country, the fame of the economist, inventor, abolitionist, publisher, poet, scientist and statesman, philosopher and publicist had spread through the Western World. He was closer to the hearts of the people on the continent than any of the other towering figures of the American Revolution. The black base is 2.5" high and 5" wide.
