Lincoln is shown here as a martyr, a framing the title makes explicit: the print was made to honor him after his assassination at Ford's theater in Washington on April 14, 1865, not to record his life while he was alive. Prints like this circulated widely in the weeks and months after his death, when grieving Americans wanted images to hang in homes and public places. Sentimental portraits of this kind helped shape the enduring picture of Lincoln as the president who held the Union together and died for it.
