Lincoln's name sits at the center of this lithograph's title, which presents it as the last offer of reconciliation made in his remembrance. Printed in buff, orange, and black and finished with watercolor, it was issued in New York, with Kimmel & Forster credited as lithographer and Henry and Wm. Voight as publishers. Its caption, "The door is open for all," echoes Lincoln's call in his second inaugural address for malice toward none and charity for all. Memorial prints like this circulated in the weeks after his assassination on April 14, 1865, when many Northerners hoped his plans for binding up the nation's wounds would outlast him.
