Continued from the Smithsonian database:
Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dawson to the people of Macon County. The coating on the piece was not part of the artist's original design.

Dimensions: Sculpture: approx. 6 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 ft.; Base: approx. 5 1/2 x 3 x 3 ft.
Inscription: Basky Foundry NY (Next to proper Lincoln's proper left foot:) BORIS LOVET-LORSKI/A.N.A. (Front base:) LINCOLN (Bronze plaque, front base:) Abraham Lincoln as a young lawyer/Donated to Decatur/and Macon County by/Roy M. and Christina/19 Dawson 46 signed Founder's mark appears.

Not really one of my favorite Lincoln statues. His pose is depicting Lincoln as a young lawyer in front of a jury. But it kind of looks like he is begging.
