Focusing on prints produced in Lincoln's lifetime and in the iconographically important months immediately following his death, this illustrated volume pairs original photographs and paintings with the prints made from them. It includes wartime cartoons, Lincoln family portraits and renderings of the moment of the shooting at Ford's Theatre.
A fascinating examination of the relationship between Lincoln's image, the printmaker's craft, and the political culture that helped shape them both, "The Lincoln Image" documents how printmakers both chronicled and influenced the president's transformation into an American icon. 106 photos.
