Here is Mr. Lincoln’s hand, a closeup shot from the Lincoln Memorial located at the western-most part of the National Mall. The words inscribed above his head: “In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever.” Here’s the full guy.

I love your picture, I visted DC once in the late 80s and regret that I did not spend more time seeing the sights.

This isolated detail of such a familiar icon is very, very powerful. Well seen!
