The iconography survived as the Four Corners of the World, however, generally in self-consciously classicizing contexts: for instance, in New York, in front of the Beaux-Arts Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House (1907), four sculptural groups by Daniel Chester French symbolize the "Four Corners of the World". Today With the grouping of the continents by landmass, have been occasionally grouped leaving four continental landmasses. These remaining four landmasses are, from largest to smallest: Afroeurasia, America, Antarctica and Australia.
