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, United States.
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.
Two more castings of Barnard's statue exist, one in Louisville, Kentucky, and one in Manchester, England.
