t. Gauden's Lincoln seated (for Crerar Library, MacChesney's Lincoln, p. 136)

A photo taken of the Abraham Lincoln: The Head of State (also called Seated Lincoln or Sitting Lincoln) Statue originally slated for placement in John Crerar's plans for a public library (now operated by the University of Chicago), the statue itself was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Due to individuals successfully preventing the placement of the John Crerar library in Grant Park, the library was constructed elsewhere, and the statue itself was unveiled on May 31, 1926 at it's current location north of Van Buren Street.
