Rather than a portrait of Lincoln, this print gives the words themselves: its title reproduces the Gettysburg Address as he delivered it on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the soldiers' cemetery on the battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The speech ran only a few minutes, far shorter than Edward Everett's two-hour oration that preceded it, yet it became one of the most quoted passages in American history. Issued in 1909, the centenary year of Lincoln's birth, this color piece reflects the wave of commemorative printing that marked the anniversary and shows how the address had come to stand for the nation's memory of the war.
