Birth Of Daniel Chester French Daniel Chester French was born on April 20, 1850, in Exeter, New Hampshire. French was the son Henry Flagg French, a lawyer, judge, and Assistant U.S. Treasury Secretary. Though he showed a talent for drawing as a child, French didn’t discover sculpture until his late teens. In the coming years, French helped found the National Sculpture Society, became a member of a number of art groups, and received honorary degrees from four universities. He also designed one side of the Pulitzer Prize gold medal (picturing Benjamin Franklin). In 1914, French was hired for perhaps one of his most famous sculptures, the seated Abraham Lincoln that sits in Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. He made three plaster casts (which are on display at his Chesterwood Studio in Massachusetts) before the final sculpture, which took a year to make, could be completed.
