Vintage 8mm home movie footage from 1969 captures the iconic seated statue of Abraham Lincoln inside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. The camera slowly zooms in on the marble monument, highlighting the engraved inscription above the statue: 'IN THIS TEMPLE AS IN THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE FOR WHOM HE SAVED THE UNION THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS ENSHRINED FOREVER.' The grainy, slightly faded color and soft focus evoke a nostalgic, archival feel, characteristic of personal 8mm film recordings from the late 1960s.
