Lincoln Memorial - Washington D. C.                                                 

Dedicated on Memorial Day, 1922, the Lincoln Memorial is 204 feet long, 134 feet wide and 99 feet tall. Designed by Architect Henry Bacon, and constructed at a cost of $3,000,000, the classic Greek Temple is surrounded by 36 Doric columns, representing the 36 states at the time of Lincoln's death.

Daniel Chester French, noted American sculptor, carved the famous statue of Lincoln, which is 19 feet high and carved out of 28 blocks of white Georgia marble.

Every building line, step, column, decoration is drawn in exacting detail. Even the names of the 36 states, laurel wreaths and garland facing the frieze of the monument is faithfully reproduced. Texturing and shading has been added to increase the degree of realism, without sacrificing historical detail. The background of the image is the Gettysburg Address.
