Statue of Abraham Lincoln (Milwaukee)
The granite pedestal's west face reads: With malice toward none...and with all nationsThe pedestal's south face reads: This monument is a gift of the Grand Army of the Republic, the school children, workingmen and citizens in general of the city of Milwaukee as an expression of their love, loyalty of country and reverence for a great emancipator.In 1916 the Lincoln Memorial Association, a group organized by Mayor Daniel Hoan, decided to commission a sculpture to commemorate the 60th anniversary of this event.He designed a sculpture that showed a young beardless Lincoln, standing up with his hands at his sides.Pencil Points, an architecture magazine, asserted that Cecere's depiction of Lincoln represented one of the best of the hundreds that had been sculpted of the Emancipator.It was subsequently placed in front of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Club on East Wisconsin Avenue.
