A larger than life sized bust of William H. Seward stands at one window of the library where more than a thousand volumes of 19th century books like the walls. The sculptor was Daniel Chester French, who also sculpted a matching bust of Abraham Lincoln on display in same room. (See following image.) French also created the huge seated figure of Lincoln that dominates the Lincoln Memorial. The window light defines Seward’s strength of character. I processed the image in sepia tones in order to age the photograph and to eliminate the vivid color of the books that drew attention away from the sculpted figure.
