Seward Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune, but is also commentary on his contempt toward the overall masses. As if to say, "here, this is how you pathetic lowborn commoners look posturing and posing." Fortunately the statues have been carried away to some other location.

I recently visited Key West and was excited to get my picture next to the marker. I told this to a friend who lives in KW and he said I am afraid you are going to be disappointed. He was right. I think they should be removed. I agree, the statues take away from the attraction. I recently visited Key West and was excited to get my picture next to the marker.
