This is a third shot of the Daniel Chester French's plaster working model of the Lincoln memorial at the National Gallery of Art. I call this digital photo, taken in March 2009: "Lincoln - 3."

	This is the fourth shot of the working model. French has placed Lincoln in a ceremonial classical chair. On the front of the chair are bundled rods called Fasces - an ancient Roman symbol of stength through unity (ie. a bundle of rods has more strength than a single rod.) I call this shot, taken at the same time: "Lincoln - 4."
