Lincoln's Divine Appeal: A Philly Landmark

Tucked away in the green lung of Fairmount Park, Philly, Pennsylvania, USA, this monument - the Lincoln's Divine Appeal -originated post-remarks of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. The exceptional mind behind this creation was none other than Randolph Rogers, a neoclassical sculptor, who conceived the piece right in the heart of Rome, Italy. The statue depicts President Lincoln in a contemplative sit, weathering gusts, script of Emancipation Proclamation gripped in his left hand, and his right raised for a divine endorsement. The statue tip-tops at 8.67 feet (2.64 m), with a granite base escalating approximately 23.5 feet (7.2 m).
