Schwarzman Building are familiar and beloved icons for New Yorkers and visitors to the city. They were modeled by sculptor Edward Clark Potter and carved from pink Tennessee marble by the Piccirilli brothers in 1911, the same year the Carrère and Hastings Beaux-Arts building opened to the public. The Lions' best-known nicknames are credited to Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who told a reporter, ''The people of this city have two cardinal virtues, Patience and Fortitude.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of these iconic lions can now make its home in your library. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with the Library Lion Patience Sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: Due to the artisanal finishing process, slight variations in color and tone may occur. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eExclusive to NYPL\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Lion Sculpture with \"Fortitude\" carved on the base\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Hand-cast in a durable blend of marble powder and museum-quality resin with a non-skid pad to protect furniture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDim:\u003c\/b\u003e 6” x 3” x 6”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItem Number: FRL22\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CDC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50552576966759,"sku":"wup1792636359690","price":54.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/4594\/9543\/files\/library-lion-fortitude-sculpture_1.jpg?v=1792636373","url":"https:\/\/tullestylestore.shop\/products\/library-lion-fortitude-sculpture","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
