Слайд 6Lincoln Statue
Not far from the museum stands the most famous of

the five Lincoln Statues that were erected in Chicago in honor of Illinois' native son. The statue, known as the "Standing Lincoln" was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens - who also created the "Sitting Lincoln" statue in Grant Park. The statue is considered Saint-Gaudens' best work and shows the sixteenth President sunk into deep thought, presumably shortly before delivering a speech. The statue was sculpted after Lincoln was assassinated.
