1809 1865 Abraham Cravat Handy Lincoln Rectangle

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic image of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, in the final year of his life. Taken in 1865, just months before his assassination, the image shows Lincoln in deep contemplation, his expressive face framed by his famous beard and the folds of his cravat. The rectangular format of the print emphasizes the presidential stature of the man, who led the country through its most tumultuous period, the Civil War. Born on February 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky, Lincoln rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest leaders in American history. He served in the Illinois state legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives before being elected to the Senate in 1834. Lincoln's political career was marked by a commitment to preserving the Union and opposing the expansion of slavery. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Lincoln led the country with unwavering determination, delivering some of the most memorable speeches in American history, including the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. Despite the personal loss of his beloved son Willie and the immense challenges of leading the country through war, Lincoln remained steadfast in his belief that the Union would prevail. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Lincoln's enduring legacy as a visionary leader who guided the United States through its darkest hour. The image captures the depth of his character and the weight of the responsibility he bore as president, making it a must-have for any history buff or collector of presidential memorabilia.
