The herm-form bust is undraped except for a ribbon that crosses the chest, signaling military distinction. An over-life-size version was presented to the City of New York by the veterans of Hancock Post, Number 259. It was dedicated in 1893 and is located at the confluence of Manhattan and St. Nicholas Avenues at 124th Street.. General Winfield Scott Hancock. J. Wilson Alexander MacDonald (1824-1908).
