In his last days, Abraham Lincoln appeared thin, tired, war-worn, thoughtful, and in deep meditation. A bronze statue portraying him in that condition is considered one of the finest ever made of President Lincoln. It was created by Andrew O’Connor, one of America’s foremost sculptors, who also made the Lincoln statue that stands in front of the State House in Springfield, Illinois. The work was cast by the Gorham Manufacturing Company of Providence, Rhode Island, in enduring bronze.
