Clark Mills (sculptor)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clark Mills (1810/15 - 1883) was an American sculptor, best known for three equestrian statues of Andrew Jackson, in Washington D.C., Nashville, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1865 Mills made a life-cast of Abraham Lincoln's head. It is generally felt to be inferior in technical quality to the 1860 cast made by Leonard Volk, but has the advantage of showing Lincoln's entire skull, not just the face as does Volk's.
In World War II the United States liberty ship SS Clark Mills was named in his honor.
