A commemorative program issued for the official presentation and relocation of the equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar in New York City, held April 19, 1951. The volume outlines the full order of ceremonies, including appearances by civic leaders, clergy, and representatives of the Venezuelan government, reflecting the diplomatic and cultural ties between the United States and Venezuela in the mid-20th century.

Illustrated with printed flags, medallion imagery, a diagram of the statue, and a full-page color portrait of Bolívar after Tito Salas. Produced as a formal presentation piece rather than a commercial publication.

Softcover, staple-bound with silk cord tie, printed on handmade laid paper throughout, with tipped-in plates.

It is in Very Good condition, with some smudging and light staining to the upper and lower edges of the covers; the interior remains mostly clean with only minor smudging at the beginning and end.
