How does Bust of Abraham Lincoln (Borglum) elucidate its Bronze casts?
Borglum had intended the marble bust to remain a unique work of art, but a mold was later made which was used to cast several copies in bronze.  One cast stands in front of the Lincoln Tomb in Springfield, Illinois.  Others are in the collections of the Chicago Historical Society, the College of the City of New York, the University of California, Berkeley, and the White House. The bust in the White House was donated by Eugene Meyer in 1954, and is usually displayed on a stone pillar in the East Garden Room, which links the East Wing to the Executive Residence.  The patina has been rubbed off the noses of the busts at the Lincoln Tomb and at Shepherd Hall, CUNY, where they are often touched for good luck.  An example of a 38 in (97 cm) bronze cast of Borglum's bust was sold in 2015 for $30,000.
