Memorials

This Lincoln Memorial, made by Daniel Chester French, was placed in Washington DC in a Greek style building.  It was only supposed to be about 10 ft. tall, until they decide to almost double it to 19 ft. tall.  Two of his speeches, the second inauguration speech and his Gettysburg Address, was engraved in the outside, as well as MLK's I Have a Dream Speech.  I like this statue because it has a lot of history behind it, and it's one of America's longest standing memorials in history, and also well known.  It's a marvel how detailed it is from the tools of the past, from the coat being slightly messy to the hair and even eyes.  Everytime I see it it baffles me on how it was done.
