" HERE IS AN ALAR UPON WHICH THE SCARIFICE WAS MADE IN THE CAUSE OF
LIBERTY"

"The statue is the work of Daniel Chester French, one of our greatest sculptors. It
fills the memorial hall with an overwhelming sence of Lincoln's presence, while the mural
decoration of another great American artist, Jules Guerin, with their all-embracing allegory,
crown the whole sacred place."
