Image description: a statue of Samson (with stylized hair in coils?) holding a lion by its lower jaw and its tail. The lion is suspended in the air. Image is black and white photograph. In the background is a flag with a spoked wheel on it.
Note: statue was in the “transportation” area of the NY World’s Fair, in front of the Ford building. Other flags included air planes, propellers.
