Pairing a portrait of Abraham Lincoln with copies of the Gettysburg Address, this text sheet places the man beside his words. Lincoln delivered the address on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery, and he later wrote out several manuscript versions of it. The handwritten copies differ slightly in wording and punctuation, which has long interested historians. The speech runs only about two minutes, yet it became one of the most quoted in American history.
