Abraham Lincoln is the subject here, shown in a formal portrait that belongs to the long run of images made of him during his lifetime and after. Lincoln sat for many photographers, painters and sculptors, and his face became one of the most reproduced in the country, especially after he led the nation through the Civil War and was assassinated in 1865. Portraits like this one were widely copied as engravings and lithographs, which helped fix his image in homes, schools and public buildings. Looking closely at the details of dress, pose and lighting can tell you a good deal about how Lincoln wanted to be seen by the public.
