Amazing quirky story ... I love the Billy Penn Statue

The detail is amazing, considering he wasn't designed to see up close.

I may be wrong but I believe the Wm. Penn statue was intended by the sculptor (A.Calder) to stand in the City Hall courtyard...that may explain the detailing which as you rightly point out is quite amazing!!
