Abraham Lincoln: The Man is a larger-than-life size bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. The original statue stands tall in Lincoln Park in Chicago, with several replicas installed around the world. Completed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1887, it's considered the most important sculpture of Lincoln from the 19th century. At that time, the New York Evening Post called it "the most important achievement American sculpture has yet produced." Abraham Lincoln II, Lincoln's only grandson, was present among a crowd of 10,000 at the unveiling. The artist later created the Seated Lincoln sculpture in Chicago's Grant Park.
