Close-up of the Founders Memorial along the Beacon Mall on the Common, Boston, erected in 1930 CE.

Its [bronze](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/bronze/) bas-relief, sitting in a large frame, shows William Blackstone welcoming [John Winthrop](https://www.worldhistory.org/John_Winthrop/)'s (l. c. 1588-1649 CE) party to Shawmut peninsula, as allegorical figures look on.
