Catalogue Note
Longman was the first woman sculptor to become a member of the prestigious National Academy of Design and to establish a career in large-scale monumental and public sculpture. Victory, her first public commission, was created for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and measured 25 feet in height. The work was popular and bronze casts of it were made in 1905 and 1908.
