Lincoln sat for this portrait in 1863, the middle of the Civil War, when the Union's fortunes were still uncertain and the Emancipation Proclamation had just taken effect. Portraits of the president were widely reproduced at the time, so an image like this reached households, army camps, and public offices across the North, where it served as a reminder of the government's cause. Its value today lies less in any single detail than in how many people looked to such images to see the man guiding the nation through its greatest crisis.
