Lincoln In Three Poses
Lincoln in Three Poses, the focal point of Lincoln Landing, sits at the original edge of the canal, giving viewers an indication of its former width. The mule boy metal figure on the west side of the canal would mark the other bank.
David Ostro, sculptor, sought to create both a traditional and contemporary statue of Abraham Lincoln. The first Lincoln pose is reaching into the ground, at what used to be the old canal wall. The second Lincoln pose is getting up from his seated position, clenching something in his hand. The third Lincoln pose is standing–suggesting movement and growth. It appears that Lincoln has just put something in his shirt pocket.
