Statue of Abraham Lincoln (Cincinnati)
An 11-foot (3.4 m) bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln is installed in Lytle Park within downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] The Charles P. Taft family commissioned artist George Grey Barnard to complete a statue in commemoration of the centenary of Lincoln's birth. The sculpture was unveiled at Lytle Park on March 31, 1917. Former U.S. President William Howard Taft, the younger brother of Charles, delivered the dedication speech.[2]
Castings of Barnard's statue also exist in Louisville, Kentucky and Manchester, England.
