Titled for what it calls Abraham Lincoln's last reception, this hand-colored lithograph points to one of the final public appearances of his presidency. Lincoln was assassinated in April 1865, so the print soon took on the weight of a memorial image. Anton Hohenstein made the design, and John Smith of Philadelphia published it. The hand coloring added to the printed sheet was a common finishing touch that gave popular prints of the period a warmer, more individual look.
