The First Vinerian Professor of Law in the
English Speaking World
A British
jurist, Doctor of Civil Law and professor at
Oxford University, William Blackstone began
lecturing on the common law of England in

in a British university. In 1758 he was

became the foundation of legal education in
England and North America and dominated the
common law legal system for over a century.
Sir William Blackstone is considered to be
the single greatest influence to both

Man
Reaching to Outer Space
1957
“Man reaching
To Outer Space” was created in 1957 and was
never published. Its creation was inspired
by the birth of the space age. Russia’s
successful launching of the first artificial
satellite into the earth’s orbit on October
4th, 1957 fueled the cold war rivalry
between Russia and the United States for
military superiority. It became evident that
the realization of mankind’s dream to
conquer the heavens would offer a stage for
military destruction. Sculptor Felix de
Weldon’s masterpiece symbolizes the spirit
of international cooperation necessary for
the survival of humanity.
Felix de Weldon authorized the release of
“Man Reaching To Outer Space” before his
death. Cast in bronze in a limited edition
of one hundred and ninety five pieces, each
magnificent sculpture is signed and numbered
and assigned a Certificate of Authenticity
personally signed by the artist.
