The setting here is Delaware Park in Buffalo, New York, where a bronze statue shows Abraham Lincoln as a young man rather than the bearded president most people picture. The print's handwritten note on the back names Baker, Bryant, which may point to the sculptor, though the record does not confirm that. Sculptures of Lincoln's youth, showing the frontier boy who grew up in Indiana and Illinois, were popular in the decades between the world wars, when many American cities put up memorials to him. The photograph captures the statue in its park setting, which helps explain how such public art was meant to be seen.
