Original caption: Lincoln sits benignly gazing across the center of a roundabout. Unseen in this photo is what he is looking at — a statue of Lincoln as a boy reading a book, which was erected in 2008.
This statue of Abraham Lincoln by Adolph Alexander Weinman was unveiled in Lincoln’s birthplace of Hodgenville, Kentucky in 1909. The bronze statue depicts the 16th President seated in a chair. The pedestal is engraved solely with the world Lincoln.
