Statue of the Abolition of Slavery

Monument

has description | a une description
The statue is modelled on the Délivrance statue designed in 1914 by sculptor Emile Guillaume and chosen by the Nantes municipality in 1927 to complement the war memorial installed in 1918. The project takes this statue, arms raised to the sky to signify deliverance, and encircles it in chains symbolizing slavery, from which the enslaved person frees himself.
