A crane lifts a large eagle emblem into the air while a crowd gathers below, with flags flying overhead. The setting is the Lincoln Memorial, dedicated in 1922 and designed by Henry Bacon, with Daniel Chester French's seated statue of Abraham Lincoln inside. Cranes were routinely used to set heavy ornamental pieces on monuments of that era, and the scene shows how public such construction work could be. The record does not give the exact date or identify the emblem, so the moment is best read as one of the installation events at the memorial.
