Rather than a single statesman, this color lithograph assembles the presidents themselves, presenting the office as a continuous line of leaders. It dates to around 1861, when the country was splitting apart after the 1860 election and Abraham Lincoln was preparing to take office. Mid-century printmakers often arranged presidential portraits like this for public display, which made such sheets a way for ordinary households to express national pride at a fragile moment. Look closely at the figures and their framing, since these arrangements were designed to present the presidency as steady and unbroken.
