This sculpture of Abraham Lincoln graces the outside of Christ Church in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It is one of many sculptures of famous persons that are featured on the building's exterior. The sculptor of the Lincoln image is thought to be Lee Lawrie. He studied under Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It's obviously a great work of art. My questions are: Do you think Lincoln would have appreciated that his image was placed on a church? How does it strike you? What also comes to my mind in viewing this item is the whole glorification of Lincoln into "sainthood." Your thoughts?
