1. Lincoln Marker
This replica of Augustus Saint-Gauden's "Abraham Lincoln: The Man" (also called "Standing Lincoln") by Enzo Pasquini, is over 17 feet high above the court and depicts Lincoln as if he is about to begin a speech.
The original 1887 sculpture of Lincoln is a Chicago landmark, accepted throughout the country as the ideal portrait of our 16th President.
The legitimate object of government is to do for the people what needs to be done but which they cannot by individual effort do at all or do so well for themselves.
-Abraham Lincoln
Erected 1972 by Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills.
