Lincoln Meets Stowe, Bruno Lucchesi, 2006, Lincoln Financial Sculpture Walk, Downtown, Hartford, Connecticut, USA
People taking a tour of the Stowe House may notice a framed photo that hangs near the foot of the staircase, just visible above a large monitor screen.
It shows a sculpture of President Abraham Lincoln and Harriet, highlighting their difference in stature. Located in Hartford, CT, this sculpture by Bruno Lucchesi depicts the meeting of President Lincoln and abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe in Washington, D.C.
in 1862. A plaque attached to the sculpture's mounting is inscribed: “Lincoln Meets Stowe.”
This is the meeting in which Lincoln is reported to have greeted Harriet saying, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!” Though often related, the story and the quote are considered by scholars to be an apocryphal anecdote, that is, one for which there is no writing by either Lincoln or Stowe
