Lincoln is shown returning home after his 1860 presidential campaign, the homecoming the title describes. The piece is a chromolithograph, a color printing process that let makers produce large, affordable images for parlors and public halls. This example came from the Rees Print & Lithography Company of Omaha around 1898, when Lincoln had become a favorite subject of patriotic and sentimental imagery. The scene pairs a political milestone with a domestic return, presenting the future president as a neighbor first.
