An estimated 10,000 people gathered at the Nebraska State Capitol on Sept. 12, 1912, for the unveiling of a new bronze sculpture of Abraham Lincoln by Daniel Chester French, who also created the famous seated Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Carved in granite behind Lincoln are the words to the Gettysburg Address.
Jordan Miller, 3D objects curator for the Nebraska State Historical Society, removes a life mask of Abraham Lincoln from its storage container at the Nebraska History Museum. The sculpture is from the life mask made by artist Leonard Volk in 1860. In 1886, a committee was formed to purchase the original casts and present them, along with bronze copies, to the National Museum in Washington. Additional bronze copies were presented to the committee members. This copy was a gift to General John J. Pershing in 1920 from Douglas Volk, the son of the artist.
A statue of a young Abraham Lincoln depicted as a rail splitter, created from a plaster cast of a design by American sculptor Louis Slobodkin, stands tall over the steps of the County-City Building.
Images related to or depicting Abraham Lincoln hang on the wall as decor at Honest Abe's, 8340 Glynoaks Drive. It's one of four Lincoln locations for the restaurant that touts itself as the "home of tasty beef, soft buns, and a whole lot of gloriously honest food."
A statue of Abraham Lincoln stands guard over the west steps of the Capitol. The full text of the Gettysburg Address is engraved behind it. An estimated 10,000 people gathered for the unveiling in September 1912.
