<B>1860 Life Casting of Abraham Lincoln by Leonard Volk.</B></I> In 1860, while Abraham Lincoln was arguing a court case in Chicago, Leonard Volk (1828-1895), the famous Civil War sculptor asked him to sit for a bust, a part of the process consisting of casting a life mask of Lincoln. This plaster, a duplicate of which is in the Smithsonian Institution, is inscribed on the concave back rim: "FROM THE LIFE MASK OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN BY LEONARD VOLK". <BR><BR>The plaster mask measures approximately 8” across by 10” in height. It is beige in color with light white flecks at the nose and the top of the ears. The back of the mask is hollow and concave with a flat edge for tabletop display. This is an attractive display piece of the 16th president. <BR><BR><B>Provenance:</B></I> <I>Leonard Volk: The Tharpe Collection of American Military History</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Exhibited:</B></I> <I>The Liberty Heritage Society Museum</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
