Rushmore, South Dakota, used the Volk life mask of Lincoln and photographs
to create this unforgettable portrait.Lincoln Bust by Gutzon Borglum
Near the Lincoln Tomb entrance in Springfield, Illinois, you encounter this
massive bronze bust of Abraham Lincoln. Its poignant mood sets the tone for
the memorial within, but visitors cannot resist rubbing the nose for good
luck. The marble original of this replica stands in the U.S. Capitol
and was praised by Robert Lincoln, the president's only surviving
son, as "the most extraordinarily good portrait of my father I have ever seen."
