Statue of Abraham Lincoln

Statue of Abraham Lincoln, Bronze presidential statue in Union Square, New York, United States.

The Statue of Abraham Lincoln is a bronze figure by Henry Kirke Brown, cast in 1870 and dedicated on September 16 of that year. Lincoln stands nearly 11 feet tall on a gray granite pedestal 24 feet high, built from three stones quarried at Dix Island; the largest weighed over seventeen tons. A stone and bronze rail fence added in 1875 surrounds it.

Arrangements for the statue began after Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, sponsored by the Union League Club of New York. Henry Kirke Brown cast it in 1870 at the Wood Bronze Company of Philadelphia, and it was dedicated on September 16, 1870, at the southwest corner of Union Square, where the Gandhi statue now stands. It was moved to its present site in the 1930 redesign of the park.

The statue was sponsored by the Union League Club of New York, which arranged its erection after Lincoln's assassination in 1865. It was placed to face Henry Kirke Brown's equestrian George Washington across the square, and the two are still in axial alignment with the Independence Flagstaff.

The statue stands at the southwest area of Union Square Park, in axial alignment with the Independence Flagstaff and the George Washington equestrian statue, so the three can be viewed together. The bronze rail fence built in 1875 stayed in place when the statue was moved during the 1930 redesign of the park.

The stone and bronze rail fence built around the statue in 1875 carries the words "with malice toward none; charity toward all" from Lincoln's second inaugural address. When the statue was moved during the 1930 redesign of Union Square Park, the fence stayed where it was.
