This statue was originally listed as "Carriers of Speed" on this site but changed to "Riders of the Elements" based on information from the New York Public Library Archives.
collection of Dr. William R. Hanson
Located in the Court of Ships in the Transportation zone this sculpture represented the elements: Air, Earth, and Water. The planes, cars and other decorative features add to the sensations of speed inherent in the composition.
