Memorial Era Plaster Casting of Abraham Lincoln’s Head
c. 1865 Lincoln Memorial Period, Abraham Lincoln, Virtual Life-Mask size Head and Face Plaster Cast, Very Fine.
This impressive, apparently Life-size Plaster Cast of Abraham Lincoln’s Head is designed to hang on display, as it has a small iron ring attached, being cast into the far back edge of the head for hanging. There is no date, maker’s mark or place of manufacture. The head measures about 10” wide x 16” long, and weighs about five pounds. This rare casting, was possibly taken from a statue as memorial to Lincoln, in the time period shortly after his assassination by John Wilkes Booth. There is some slight overall rub, with most impressive appearance of Abraham Lincoln. This is the first example of this quality, period cast we have offered.
