Bronze Reduction of "Standing Lincoln" Statue by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, 1910-1922
One of the most famous sculptures of President Lincoln is Augustus Saint-Gaudens' "Standing Lincoln." This is a bronze "reduction" (meaning a copy on a smaller scale) of that famous 1887 sculpture. Saint-Gaudens depicts Lincoln in deep thought standing in front of a ceremonial "Chair of State." The original 11 1/2 foot bronze can be found in Lincoln Park, Chicago, Illinois. |
