Eagle 1809-11 William Rush American This monumental eagle, of fluid and energetic form, was commissioned in 1809 by Saint Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church in Philadelphia for its new building. The birds open beak contains a red-painted iron tongue, from which a long chain was suspended to support the sounding board above the pulpit. In 1847 the sculpture was removed from Saint Johns and installed in the Assembly Room of Independence Hall, where it remained until 1914. In that location, near the Liberty Bell and Rushs 1815 carved wood statue of George Washington, its symbolism changed; once an attribute of the churchs patron saint, it metamorphosed into an emblem of national pride.
