Abraham Lincoln Life Mask copy by Leonard W. Volk.
This mask measures 10 ½ high x 10 wide x 8 deep. American sculptor LEONARD
VOLK (1828-1895), who studied in Rome with the help of Illinois political figure Stephen A.
Douglas, opened a studio in Chicago in 1959. Closely observing Douglas and his rival,
Abraham Lincoln, during their debates, he sculpted both men and did Lincoln's life mask
and made casts of both of his hands. Volk's monument to Douglas stands in Chicago and
statues of Douglas and Lincoln grace the state Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. The sculptor
also did portrait busts of Lincoln and a number of other subjects, including Henry Clay. Fine
Condition.
