WINNIE REAM AS SHE SCULPTURE ED LINCOLN.

When the Winnie Ream statue of Lincoln
was unveiled in the Capitol in 1871 Sens-
tor Carpenter, Of Wisconsin. summed mp
the satisfaction of the American Congress
in his description of the work that she
had produced. He said:
Those who have visited the studio OK
this artist and seen various classic works
that she has produced have no doubt that
she would have been capable Of embodyihg
I'm a statue OF Lincoln a creditable coE-
ception of Jupiter hurting thunderbofs or
OF Cicero in a Roman toga amid CLASSIC
surroundings. Thus she might have pro-
duced a fable in marble, beholding which
no man could say where Lincoln stopped
and Jupiter commenced nor distinguish
that which represented the fact from that
which represented the fancy of the artist
Thus she might have cheated her employers
and have libelled the great departed. and
her statue might have been placed In the
Capitol amid the hosannahs OF artists
while an Illinois neighbor could not detect
the remotest resemblance TO the plain old
man with whose incomings and outgoings
he had been familiar for years.
"Our artist was aware that no ilattery
was expected at her hands. When the peo-
pie employed her to execute this work they
were in no mood for assembling. What
they wished was an exact likeness Of Abra-
ham Lincoln the half-farmer. half-lawyer
and altogether child of Nature, with face
sadder than was ever worn by man before.
