"Remembering the Historic Gettysburg Address: A Glimpse into 1863" In a momentous gathering at Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, history was made. The crowd stood in awe as President Lincoln delivered his powerful speech during the dedication services on the battlefield. This significant event was captured and published in 1909, preserving its impact for generations to come. Amongst these historical records are portraits of John Wilkes Booth, a name forever linked to tragedy. A carte de visite from 1862 showcases Booth's image, while another portrait taken between 1861-65 provides an eerie glimpse into his life. These black and white photographs give us a haunting reminder of the man who would later become infamous for his role in President Lincoln's assassination. Speaking of Lincoln himself, we have glimpses into his life through various photographs and lithographs. One full-length portrait from 1861 shows him seated with determination etched upon his face. Another photograph captures him at home in 1867, hand-colored to bring out the warmth within this iconic figure. A touching image reveals Abraham Lincoln alongside his son Thomas (Tad) in a black and white photo taken in 1865. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst great turmoil, family remained central to this remarkable leader's life. Tragically, our journey through history takes us to Fords Theatre in Washington where President Lincoln met his untimely end. An emotionally charged hand-colored lithograph depicts the heart-wrenching scene of his assassination in April 1865. Through these images and engravings engraved by William G. Jackman emerges an intimate portrayal of Abraham Lincoln - a man whose legacy is forever intertwined with both triumphs and tragedies that shaped our nation's history. Lastly, we encounter a chromolitho capturing Lincolns address at Gettysburg.
