EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a somber moment in American history - the death-bed of President Abraham Lincoln. Taken in 1865, just moments after his assassination at the theatre, this engraving from A Child's History of the United States by John Gilmary Shea offers a poignant glimpse into the final moments of one of America's greatest leaders. In this image, we see President Lincoln lying on his death-bed, surrounded by doctors and politicians who are filled with grief and sadness. The room is dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and reflection. The expressions on their faces tell a story of loss and mourning for a man who dedicated his life to serving his country. As we gaze upon this powerful portrait, we are reminded not only of the tragedy that unfolded that fateful night but also of Lincoln's immense impact on America. His untimely death shook the nation to its core, leaving behind an indelible legacy that still resonates today. Through this print, we witness not only a historical event but also the fragility of life itself. It serves as a reminder that even great men like Abraham Lincoln are mortal beings who leave behind profound legacies long after they have departed. This remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our own mortality while honoring the memory of one of America's most revered presidents.
