Description
The Lincoln Memorial attracts visitors long into a warm spring night. This iconic structure honoring our 16th President anchors the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D. C.across from the Washington Monument, and is in the form of a neoclassical temple. The building is styled as a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address. Behind the giant statue of Lincoln are inscribed the words
"IN THIS TEMPLE
AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE
FOR WHOM HE SAVED THE UNION
THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
IS ENSHRINED FOREVER"
People of all races, creeds and faiths still throng to this massive memorial in tribute to the legacy of this great man. Even at night.
This photograph is formatted in the 3:5 ratio for display on both small and large walls, corridors, meeting rooms and other open interior spaces. The sizes available are 20" x 12", 24" x 14", 30" x 18", 36" x 22", 48" x 29", 60" x 36" and 72" x 43". The 24" x 14" fits well into a 1/4 sized mat board cut of 30" x 20", the 30" x 18" also fits well into a 1/2 sized mat board cut of 40" x 30", while the 48" x 29" size is perfect for a full 60" x 40" mat. This will benefit any buyer with economies in both material and labor when selecting cohesive images for business and institutional decor. The 60" x 36" and 72" x 43" sizes may be mounted and framed as a print without mat, but are best displayed as stretched canvas or vibrant metal print to decorate a large wall surface with astonishing detail.
CONTEST WINNER: 3rd Place , "South Mid-Atlantic Group Historic Monuments Contest", sponsored by the Showcasing The South and Mid Atlantic art group, March 2024.
