Stretched Canvas Print of President Lincoln

This is an up-close and personal view of the Statue of President Lincoln in Lytle Park, Cincinnati, Ohio (OH). Circa 1917. It is a internationally known commemoration of the U.S. Civil War, when the Republican party was steeped in values, a moral dilemma, and a sense of right and wrong worth dying for. The statue is closely cropped in the face for drama and impact. This was Teddy Roosevelt's favourite statue of Lincoln, while Lincoln's son, Robert Todd, really did not like the portrayal. Donated to the city of Cincinnati by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft. The sculpture by George Grey Barnard (NY) first shocked Cincinnatians with its gaunt and weary features but later gained international fame. Lytle Park was founded in Cincinnati in 1907.
