Ask about licensing or this print

An engraved portrait titled *The Great National Memorial* presents its subject through the title alone, and the record does not say which monument or person it commemorates, so it is best read as a tribute piece in the tradition of 19th-century commemorative prints. Engravings like this were reproduced in books, periodicals and parlor displays, which carried the likenesses of honored figures to a wide public. The gallery's Memorial Day placement traces back to Decoration Day, which began after the Civil War, when Gen. John A. Logan called for the graves of war dead to be decorated on May 30, 1868.
