Umbrellas rise above a dense crowd gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., a detail that gives this view its own character among the Lincoln images on the board. The Memorial, dedicated in 1922 and designed by Henry Bacon, has long served as a gathering place for national events, and the open plaza below its steps has drawn large crowds for ceremonies, speeches and demonstrations. Umbrellas suggest a day of rain or threatening weather, when people still turned out in numbers to witness the occasion. The scene shows how the monument functioned as a public stage rather than only a static tribute to its namesake.
