Abraham Lincoln bust in profile, bronze plaque mounted on oak board, signed ''J.E. Roine'', marked Gorham Co. on back of board and on hanger. It is copyrighted 1910.Plaque 7''dia., board 11-1/2''h, 9''w. There are some very slight scratches and water stains to the surface of the bronze, but otherwise it is in very good condition. Lincoln is a very relevant president in today’s wacky political climate, but there is nothing wacky about this beautiful piece of bronze sculpture. Jules É...douard Roiné, was an exemplary French-American sculptor and master medal engraver of his era. He created the The Open Air Pulpit at Grace Church in NYC, and the Tympanum for the church's doorway. It was said of the artist that, "The sculptor, Mr. Jules Edouard Roiné, is known broadly because of his intellectual equipment. The idealism and exquisite rendering of a plaque, The Dawn of the Twentieth Century, for which the French government gave him a medal, need no comment. This alone is an acceptable evidence of skill." I have researched it a little and if you’re interested, you should too. A few copies of this piece have been auctioned recently but not on this site. Contact me with any questions. US shipping only. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
