Portrait engraving of Abraham Lincoln, 1864
(John Chester Buttre, GLC 05239)
This engraving was created from a Matthew Brady Photograph. It shows Lincoln surrounded by an emblematic border done by New York illustrator William Momberger. The images in the borders (suggestive of many of Lincoln's policies and beliefs) portray the defeat of the dragon "Secession," freed slaves, western emigration, rural prosperity, and eventual peace between the North and South.
