A calligraphic rendering of the Gettysburg Address, paired with a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, turns a speech of roughly 270 words into a piece meant to be looked at as well as read. Lincoln delivered the address in November 1863 at the dedication of the national cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield, where Union and Confederate dead from the July battle had been buried. Prints combining the text with his likeness were popular in the decades afterward, when the speech had become a touchstone of national memory. Notice how the lettering and portrait are arranged together, since the layout asks the viewer to read the words and see the man who spoke them at once.
