Colossal Lincoln, 1908

The portrait of Abraham Lincoln was completed a year before the centennial of the president's birth, and was probably a model for a competition to create a statue of Lincoln for Nebraska's state capitol. On seeing this bust, Lincoln's son Robert said it was, "just like seeing Father again." This piece was displayed in Theodore Roosevelt's White House and was later bought and presented to the U.S. government. It is now displayed in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
