MEAD, Franklin B
Heroic Statues in Bronze of Abraham Lincoln: Introducing The Hoosier Youth of Paul Manship
Fort Wayne IN: The Lincoln National Life Foundation 1932. Hardcover. Small 4to. Tan cloth spine with paper label and brown paper over boards with paper label. 93pp. Color frontispiece illustrations. Very good. Mild binding edgewear mainly corners with spine label darkened though internally fine and pristine. A lovely and tight first edition of this handsome R.R. Donnelley & Sons production issued in conjunction with the unveiling of this statue in Fort Wayne Indiana by the noted American sculptor 1885-1966. This handsome copy bears a choice photograph addition: Tipped to the inner flyleaf is a fine original likely sole surviving print of an 8" X 10" glossy black-and-white photograph of a smiling Manship alongside a small-scale version of his equestrian statue of Grant Ulysses S. Grant with Bruce Catton 1899-1978 admiring it from one side and Civil War authority/radio broadcasting innovator Carl Haverlin 1899-1985 doing the same from the other side; when the full-size version surrounded by soldiers hoisting cannons was cast in 1922 it cost $250000 making it the most expensive statue in the United States. This small casting was apparently made during the Civil War centennial circa 1960 for the interior of Grant's Tomb. Haverlin served as president of music licensing pioner BMI Broadcast Music Inc. and the photographer who took this image Hy Reiter served with BMI's publicity and promotion department. A sharp copy of an uncommon title with outstanding photograph addition. The Lincoln National Life Foundation hardcover
