The monument of Ion C. Brătianu, Prime Minister of Romania several times over,  was designed by architect Petre Antonescu and made by the French sculptor Ernest Henri Dubois after winning an international competition organized in 1900.  It was inaugurated on May 18, 1903 at the intersection of Colței Boulevard (now IC Brătianu Boulevard) with King Carol I Boulevard, on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the death of Brătianu . The monument was funded by public subscription.  We just felt like explaining this old view on a contemporary (2013) unused card from the Municipal Museum.  There’s more to the story, right up until now.  Curious?  Google.  Grade: 1
