Illinois Municipal Courthouse Building Bronze Cornerstone High-Relief Casting of "Abraham Lincoln" Portrait Plaque
"Abraham Lincoln" Cast Bronze Large Size and Impressive High-Relief Portrait Plaque, measuring 22" x 16" said to be from an Illinois Municipal Courthouse Building Cornerstone display removed in renovation, Choice Very Fine.
Exceptional, large size 22" x 16", Abraham Lincoln Portrait Plaque in Bas (High-Relief), produced in Cast Bronze metal. Lincoln is shown chest-up facing left. Likely custom produced for inset and display at the buildings entry, perhaps with a commemorative plaque or cornerstone. This custom solid bronze display plaque weighs about 30 pounds. It has a very high-relief structure which rises almost 2" high at Lincoln's shoulder, providing a three dimensional effect such that Lincoln's portrait could be easily viewed from a distance. It is the single largest size Abraham Lincoln cast we have offered. Certainly a "key" or "cornerstone" collectible item, perfect for any Abraham Lincoln collector, or display. This plaque could easily be repurposed and used, probably at a mere fraction of the cost to originally produce it. Our noted consignor states the provenance to have originally come from the renovation of an Illinois Municipal Courthouse building. Its historical Cornerstone display commemorating the location where Abraham Lincoln had actually once practiced law! An obvious perfect display piece for a bank, financial institution, political organization, or Law library or office.
