Lovers of Civil War and American History, take a look at this interesting Panoramic Sketch.
Likely dating from 1929, this sketch commemorates the dedication of a statue entitled "Lincoln the Debater" by the artist Leonard Crunelle. William Thomas Rawliegh, a member of the Illinois House of Representatives, commissioned the statue as a center piece for celebrations held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. The original statue, dedicated on August 27, 1929, can be seen in Freeport, Illinois.
The Lincoln sketch in this panorama is of the statue, intended to show Lincoln waiting to reply to questions by Douglas during the second debate held August 27, 1858. Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas met in seven official debates that year during a widely publicized Illinois senatorial campaign which Douglas eventually won. This series of seven debates between the Democratic senator Stephen A. Douglas and Republican challenger Abraham Lincoln during the 1858 Illinois senatorial campaign, largely concerning the issue of slavery extension into the territories. Though Lincoln lost that election, these debates founded support for his views and policies that would eventually propel him to the presidency.
The piece measures approx. 15 inches long, 9 inches wide and 3/4 inch deep. Please review photos for full perspective.
