Description
This head and shoulders bronze bust depicts President Abraham Lincoln. He is shown directly facing the viewer with a Greco-Roman draping. The bust sits on top of a cylindrical pedestal. Based on the life mask and work of Leonard Wells Volk, this is possibly a P.P. Caproni & Bro. Plastic Art Studio reproduction as there is an oval hollow on the back the size of the Caproni metal identification tag usually seen on their work.
