The subject here is a sculpted figure of Abraham Lincoln shown with a sword, a pairing that recalls the Civil War years, when Lincoln as commander in chief became a favored subject for sculptors and printmakers. The date in the record, 1832, deserves a closer look. Lincoln was then a young man in Illinois, not a national figure, and photography was not practical until the late 1830s, so the year may be a cataloguing error or may refer to a different object. Sculpted likenesses of Lincoln, often with military or symbolic details, circulated widely in the decades after his death in 1865.
