EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ABRAHAM LINCOLN: CARTOON. Old Abes Uncomfortable Position" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Captured in 1860, this American cartoon depicts President-elect Abraham Lincoln's unease with the notion of resorting to military force to preserve the Union during the Civil War. The image portrays Lincoln, a man of great political action and leader of the Republican Party, in a mid-moment of contemplation. His discomfort is palpable as he grapples with the weighty decision before him. The artist skillfully uses satire to convey both the seriousness and complexity of this pivotal period. Intriguingly, an element that stands out is the bayonet prominently displayed in the foreground. It serves as a symbol representing not only military power but also division and conflict within America at that time. Granger Art on Demand has masterfully preserved this historical artifact from their collection by Granger, NYC. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how crucial decisions made by leaders like Lincoln shaped our nation's destiny. Let this thought-provoking print serve as a reminder that even great leaders face uncomfortable positions when confronted with challenging choices for their country's future.
