Diagonally across from the Thin Family, mentioned in the previous post, on the South East corner of Verdugo and Buena Vista at the entrance to Lincoln Park, resides a bust of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.
This bronze sculpture was created in 1962 by the renown sculptor, Henry Van Wolf. Van Wolf lived and had his studio in neighboring North Hollywood and was the founder of the Vally Artist Guild.
The leaves that grace the curved and welcoming benches (last photo) were put there to discourage skateboard use I assume. I think they are a beautiful addition rather than a distraction. I would also assume that Van Wolf did not create them since his life span was from 1898-1982 and the park was dedicated in 2002.
