Description:
It is very curious that just as Abraham Lincolns presidency was not completed neither was his sculpture at Mount Rushmore. Just as his goals for our democracy are not all fulfilled, this close up shows clearly many areas of his sculpture needing finishing. The master sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who was the leader of the Mount Rushmore project, tragically died before the project was completed. The last sculpture scheduled to be completed was of Abraham Lincoln. After the death of Borglum the project was discontinued and Abraham Lincoln was never finished.
