Seated Lincoln, Bronze sculpture at Essex County Courthouse Plaza in Newark, US.
The bronze sculpture presents Abraham Lincoln sitting on a bench with his stovepipe hat placed beside him on a stone platform.
President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated this bronze monument during a Memorial Day ceremony in 1911, following its completion by sculptor Gutzon Borglum.
The sculpture presents Lincoln in an informal position, reflecting his contemplative moments in the White House garden during the Civil War period.
The monument stands at the intersection of Springfield Avenue and Market Street, accessible through multiple public transportation routes in Newark.
Newark businessman Amos Hoagland Van Horn provided 25,000 dollars in his will for the creation of this bronze masterwork before his death in 1908.
