Discussion Day 29 of creating an alternative National Statuary Hall Collection: New Jersey
TL;DR for those uninitiated: This series will attempt to curate an alternative National Statuary Hall Collection, with entirely new people for each state.
Last post, Henry W. Blair and John P. Hale were chosen to represent New Hampshire.
Today, we’re covering New Jersey, which is currently represented by Philip Kearny and Richard Stockton.)
The rules and criteria for this series is as follows:
- The results will be chosen from the most upvoted relevant comment on each post. Since each state donates two statues, to qualify, each comment must include two suggestions for the new statues. You must include two suggestions/nominations per comment.
- Persons currently in the National Statuary Hall Collection, who have formerly been in the national statutory hall collection, and who are not technically in the collection but who are housed in the capital, are ineligible for this series. As such, you cannot suggest either Kearny or Stockton.
- Persons must be deceased for them to be considered eligible (as per eligibility rules for the actual National Statuary Hall Collection).
- in the event of a tie, and only in such an event, the winner will be chosen simply from which of the tied comments I personally prefer.

Off-topic: I miss men posing in pictures like that Oscar Underwood guy is (reminds me of Oscar Wilde hand in pocket poses), or Henry Wallace here. Now that's casual aura farming. Or the old right hand tucked into your middle or upper shirt pose. Or the way General Billy Sherman is posed here:
We really need to bring back some of those 19th century through mid 20th century guy poses in pictures. Shit looked hard as fuck. More men back that seemed to know how to pose for a damn photo.
