Rather than a battlefield or a formal portrait, this chromolithograph shows a family gathered in a log hut in the evening, a scene from young Abraham Lincoln's life on the Indiana frontier. Published in Boston by L. Prang & Co. around 1868, it appeared a few years after Lincoln's assassination in 1865, when many Americans wanted images of him as a humble frontier boy. Chromolithography printed several colors from stone, which made such scenes affordable for parlor walls. The print reflects the period's habit of presenting Lincoln's rise from log cabin origins as a model of self-improvement.
