Description
Abraham Lincoln: John Rogers "Council of War" Statue. 13" x 14" x 24" plaster with reinforced metal figural group by John Rogers of New York, titled on the base: "The Council of War." General Grant is pointing out some salient features of a map to the President while Secretary of War Stanton observes. First introduced in 1867, the work proved so popular that three versions were produced over a number of years. Robert Todd Lincoln admired it greatly and Stanton effused: "In form and feature [it] surpasses any effort to embody the expression of that great man which I have seen. The whole group is very natural and the work, like others from the same hand, well represents interesting incidents of the time."Condition: Minor chips to the head of Stanton, small one on Lincoln's knee, and a couple to the base. Scattered marks and crazing. Multiple areas of repainting and possible minor repairs. The patent stamp on the base is partially gone and reads only, "tented."
NOTE: This item is heavy and may require special shipping arrangements.
