Apple Cider Press statue - San Francisco, California - Permanent World Fair and Expo Structures on Waymarking.com

San Francisco's first World Fair was laid out in Golden Gate Park. Its enduring legacy was the Japanese Tea Garden, (and the De Young Art Museum - subsequently destroyed and constructed to a completely new design). It also left a few other artifacts, such as this romantic statue. The statue is the work of an American artist, Thomas Shields Clarke, who studied in Paris and received a medal of honor in Madrid for this sculpture.

Before the fair closed in the summer of 1894, this statue was purchased by M.H. De Young as a gift to the park to be permanently displayed in front of the museum. (That is according to Christopher Pollack in his book Golden Gate Park.) The plaque on the statue says:
"Presented by the executive committee
of the
California Midwinter
International Exposition
1894"
