Among the four faces on Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota, this close view puts the viewer right at the granite of Thomas Jefferson's features, the figure carved to the left of Washington. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began the project in 1927 and worked on it until his death in 1941, after which his son Lincoln oversaw the final work. The monument was dedicated to honor the nation's founding and expansion, and visitors often note the scale of the carving, roughly 60 feet from brow to chin for each face.
