I never knew that there was another statue in Manchester, until John pointed it out - www.flickr.com/photos/markydeedrop/433266104/

A statue of Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), 16th President of the United States, by George Gray Barnard in the eponymous Lincoln Square was presented to the city by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phelps Taft of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1919 to mark the part that Lancashire played in the cotton famine and American Civil War of 1861–1865.

Originally the statue was meant to stand outside the Houses of Parliament in London to mark 100 years of peace between Britain and the USA, but Barnard's depiction of Lincoln was perceived as controversial at the time so another more orthodox statue was commissioned for the capital.

Ida Tarbell's perspective on Lincoln led her to support the sculptor George Grey Barnard during the controversy over his Lincoln statue, dedicated in Cincinnati in 1917 and sent to Manchester, England, in 1919 after being rejected as a suitable gift for London. A reformer in politics and art, Barnard modeled his Lincoln around the image of Lincoln as a hero of democracy and as a man of the working class. Rather than a finely clothed, flawless Lincoln, Barnard's Lincoln posed in rumpled, worn clothes and old shoes with his arms clasped around his stomach. Barnard tried to portray Lincoln before he became president, as one who came from the people.
Conservative critics, such as Frederick Wellington Ruckstuhl, editor of the Art World, Robert Todd Lincoln, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Lincoln enthusiast, Judd Stewart, felt that the pose and attire of the statue were unbecoming to the memory of Lincoln. Ruckstuhl was particularly vocal in his opposition, referring to the statue as a "mistake in bronze" and "radicalism in rags."

George Grey Barnard's LINCOLN STATUE stands in the circle of the park entrance. From a low, red-granite pedestal, the heroic bronze figure of the Abraham Lincoln towers to a height of 11 feet. Erect, hands folded in front, and without a beard, the Barnard Lincoln is inexpressibly sad, care-worn, and weary. Time has laid a pale green patina on the figure.
Barnard worked on the statue in his New York studio from 1911 to 1916. After being exhibited on the grounds of the Union Theological Seminary, it was brought to Cincinnati. On March 31, 1917, the statue was presented to the city by Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Taft. Former President William Howard Taft delivered the principal address at the unveiling. Although some Cincinnatians thought it a monstrosity, because of the exaggerated hands and the unstatesmanlike pose, the work is accepted as a masterpiece.

Cincinnati City Hall is a registered historic building in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register on December 11, 1972. The main building comprises four and a half stories with a nine story clock tower. The building was constructed by the David Hummel company of Cincinnati using stone quarried in Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri and Indiana. Marble stairways and wainscoting originated in Italy and Tennessee, while granite columns were obtained from Vermont. A granite statue of Jesus was contributed by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1864 and displayed in the alcove on the south side of the building until 2003.
Construction costs for the building totaled $1,610,000 of which $54,000 was paid to Samuel Hannaford as architect and construction superintendent.
History Of Cincinnati City Hall
The headquarters for Cincinnati's government has been on this site since 1852, but the building erected then was not nearly as large as the present City Hall. It faced Plum Street, was surrounded by a small park and had a second story added a year or two later.
In 1887, four men were appointed to oversee the design and construction of a new city hall on the same site. A local architect, Samuel Hannaford, who had designed Music Hall, won the architectural competition. The cornerstone for the new building was laid with Masonic ceremonies on August 16, 1888.
Hannaford designed City Hall in a very popular style, Romanesque, as interpreted by H. H. Richardson, using massive stones, rounded arches and a tower. The stonework was done by the David Hummel Company, the ironwork by M. Clements, and the painting by F. Pedretti Sons. These were all Cincinnati firms.

Sunday morning we went to Second Sunday in Over the Rhine; DaNelle had purchased a canopy for her jewelry table, but we had never set up a canopy before. The box said it was VERY EASY and QUICK, but we had a bit of trouble with it. I noticed that Bethany's canopy seemed very similar, so I went over to take a look at it. She was nice enough to come over and help us with some know-how and muscle, and we had the canopy set up in a very short time.
Bethany makes Bethany Rose pottery - wonderful bowls, pots, cups, and more - she also is Studio Manager and Instructor at Funkē Fired Arts in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati.
Later in the afternoon, Bethany came over to talk with us, and when she mentioned a trip she had taken to London, I remembered that Travis was here from England on his own World Tour, and asked if Bethany would have her picture taken with him - and she did!
Travis started life in Great Wilbraham, near Cambridge, UK. After enduring the 100 Possibilities Project, he decided to spread his wings, leaving his Cambridgeshire Village and family behind, and ventured into the big world. Photos from Travis' World Tour and his visit to Cincinnati are posted on flickr.
Bethany, it was so nice meeting you - thanks for your help and letting me take a picture of you and Travis!

On Sunday afternoon we took a tram tour of Spring Grove Cemetery. I've been on other Spring Grove tours before, and really enjoyed them, I wasn't sure about how the tram tour would work; I like to be able to wander around and see things up close, and didn't know how much we'd be able to see and appreciate from a moving vechicle.
In addition, I've been reading about Frances Wright, and hoped to see her gravesite. But Spring Grove is so big (over 700 acres, the second largest cemetery in the United States, with more than 200,000 burials) that I thought the odds were low that we'd be passing her grave, much less stopping to see it.
When the tour began, I heard that we'd be stopping to get out and walk in Section 100 and Section 43. Coincidentally, Section 43 is where Wright is buried, so I was happy to hear that I'd probably be able to walk around and find her grave.
Louise drove the tram, and Elaine narrated the tour. They both did a great job. Spring Grove is hilly with twisty roads; and Louise managed that long tram very well. Elaine was very knowledgeable about the cemetery and Cincinnati history, and had also done research for this tour on Cincinnati Quakers who had been buried at Spring Grove. In addition, before the tour, she had driven around the cemetery and put American flags near the graves she was pointing out so that we'd be able to locate them from the tram. The tour was very interesting and the time just flew by.
Toward the end of the tour, as we were nearing Section 43, Elaine said there was one more monument she wanted to point out before we stopped to get out - she said that a woman named Frances Wright had been buried beneath a marble monument in Spring Grove, and gave us a brief biography of Wright's life and work. When we got out of the tram, she walked me over to Wright's grave, and I took some photos of it.
Elaine and Louise delightful guides and a real pleasure to spend time with - Elaine & Louise, thanks for a great tour, and for letting me take your picture!

We stopped in at the Essex Studios Open House on Saturday night. Every few months they open their doors, welcoming in the public to browse the studios. This open house was Friday and Saturday night and also included free admission to the neighboring “American Sign Museum“.
Essex Studios consists of two levels of artist studios. Later I found out that this building used to house a large scale tailoring business and that you can often see old snaps and pins and things embedded into the wood floor of the second level.
Essex houses more than 60 resident artists. There are artists of all kinds – painters, scultptors, fabric artists, jewelry artisans, etc. With the combination of the art studio and the sign museum, it’s a great free evening out.

Paint the Street | The 2nd Annual Ta-Da
Artworks held a meeting and business owners and various neighborhood residents were asked for their ideas for the designs. By the end of the meeting, people were sketching preliminary designs out on craft paper. Five artists later expanded upon those ideas and the volunteer groups painted the design onto the street today.
