Description
This reproduction is based on a bronze statuette of Lincoln that Gutzon Borglum made in 1912. It captures the distinctive features of the president's face. Laser-scanning technology was used to precisely reproduce the original in bonded bronze, and an artist has then patinated the model by hand.
