Bas-relief carving on façade of MLC Building in Martin Place Sydney, 2009

Description

Unique IDA-00063671SeriesGary Deirmendjian Photograph Collection, 2001-2010Date8th November 2009Date qualifierexactFormatPhotograph - DigitalDescriptionBas-relief carving above the front entrance of the MLC Building (Mutual Life and Citizens' Assurance Society Limited) at 44 Martin Place. The carving shows a kneeling person (possibly a woman) attempting to break a bundle of sticks over the knee. Under the relief is engraved the motto 'Union is Strength'. The analogy being that each stick represents an individual. A stick on it's own can be broken easily, but as a group there is strength and the sticks cannot be broken.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorPhotographer: Gary DeirmendjianGeographic location^[1]
