This statue depicts three nude smiths, beating on an anvil. Monument was opened in 1932.
This monument was donated to the city by the Pro Helsingfors Foundation. The fund acquired the statue through donations from businessman Julius Tällberg. On top of granite foundation of the monument is engraved "monumentum – curavit – legatum – j. tallbergianum – pro helsingfors a.d. mcmxxxii", which means “the statue was built with donations from J. Tallberg by Pro Helsingfors in 1932”.
