Description
The Abraham Lincoln Statue is a bronze statue created in 1919 by the American sculptor George Gray Barnard. It is an over-life-size statue placed on a high late 20th-century plinth. This statue is a cast of the original statue installed in Lytle Park, Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1917. It was presented to the City of Manchester in 1919 by Mr and Mrs Charles Phelps Taft of Cincinnati, the Sulgrave Institution, and the Anglo-American Society. Initially, a suitable site in the city center could not be found, so it was first located in Platt Fields Park. In 1986, the statue was moved to Lincoln Square.
