Musee d'Orsay Clock

This photo, taken along the esplanade next to the Musee d'Orsay,
shows six allegorical statues created for the 1878 l'Exposition Universelle (Paris' third World's Fair).
They are known as The Six Continents.

The first one, closest to us, is l'Europe
sculpted by Alexandre Schoenewerk.

The next is Alexandre Falguiere's l'Asie.
Then Eugene Delaplanche's l'Afrique.
Ernest Eugene Hiolle's l'Amerique du Nord.
Aime Millet's l'Amerique du Sud.
And Mathurin Moreau's l'Oceania (Australia).
