Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of a Collection of Engraved and Other Portraits of Lincoln: Exhibited at the Grolier Club, New York Saturday, April 8th, to Saturday, April 22d, 1899
While these structural particulars are of value and have been utilized by Mr. St. Gaudens in the most masterly statue yet erected in America, alone they would give no idea of how Abraham Lincoln appeared, in the flesh, to those who knew him. And indeed no word-painting can convey to the mind of another an adequate conception of the appear ance of any person, so much depends upon the spirit and expression, which latter, in persons of character, is ever changing. With Mr. Lincoln this was notably the case, so that it was the despair of painters and of photographers to catch a likeness, and the best that can be done is to make a com posite, in the mind, from all the pictures that we have of him and all the characteristics that we know of him.
