Lot Flannery

Lot Flannery (1836–December 19, 1922) was an Irish-American sculptor from Washington, D.C., best known for his work in 1868 on the Abraham Lincoln statue located outside the District of Columbia City Hall and the nation's oldest extant memorial to the assassinated president.

[1] Flannery knew President Abraham Lincoln and was at Ford's Theatre the night of the assassination.

[3] Shortly after Lincoln's death, Washingtonians chose to erect a memorial honoring the slain president.

[4][5] Flannery sculpted a marble bust of General John A. Logan that was previously exhibited in the Capitol.

A copy of that bust made by artist Franklin Simmons was used in producing the equestrian sculpture Major General John A.
