Description: A view of a statue of a Chicago police officer in the middle of Randolph Street in Chicago. The statue is mounted on a stone base with the words "In the name of the people of Illinois, I command peace" carved in the front side. A metal fence surrounds the statue, with an older man in a hat standing in front of it. There are businesses and wagons on both sides of the statue.
One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, or the California Midwinter International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1894, hence the suggested date.
