Excerpt from Lincoln Dioramas Beginning in March of 1939, it was necessary to devote months of painstaking research to assure accuracy in every detail before the plan for each diorama could be drawn. From the time when actual construction work was begun late in 1939 until November of 1941, never less than fifty craftsmen have been busily engaged in mod eling, carving and painting figures or designing the colorful backgrounds. More than ten thousand figures were cast for the dioramas; of that number six thousand were selected for use. These figures vary in size from one-half inch to nineteen inches. The most difficult piece of sculpture in the dioramas is the reproduction of the Daniel French Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D. C.
