Statue of Abraham Lincoln, Bronze statue in Milwaukee, United States
This 10-foot-6-inch bronze sculpture depicts a young, beardless Abraham Lincoln standing with hands at his sides on a red granite pedestal.
The statue, dedicated in 1934, stands as a memorial funded by Milwaukee schoolchildren's pennies, working people, and citizens during the Great Depression era.
Four sides of the granite base display inscriptions, including quotes from Lincoln's second inaugural address and words honoring his roles as President and Emancipator.
The statue remains accessible throughout the year at the War Memorial Center on Lincoln Memorial Drive, near downtown Milwaukee's cultural institutions.
Sculptor Gaetano Cecere chose to portray Lincoln without his signature beard, as the President appeared during his 1859 visit to Milwaukee.
