The hydrocal plaster casting of the Lincoln profile featured in the summer alumni magazine sat for years badly chipped and unwanted in various school closets before it was rescued by the alumni association last June. Jones, who is proprietor of Jones Sculpture Studio, said he spent “at least 45 hours” using special tech- niques to restore the Byron Pickett medallion, origi- nally designed in 1873. A copy was presented to the school late in the 19th or early 20th century. New fiberglass backing was added to strengthen the one-piece medallion relief, and Jones mended all the cracks and chips before restoring what he said was the “poor man’s bronze” finish. Alums who stepped forward to help with the Restoration of the Abe Medallion project will have their names on a plaque when the art is admired by Dana Cress, alumni work is displayed in the new building. association director, and art restorer Work on other projects in the Lincoln archives will Jason Jones. continue throughout the year.
