Engraved likenesses of early American presidents, framed by a single ornate border, give this print the feel of a patriotic display rather than a straightforward portrait study. Sets like this were popular in the 19th century, when engraving was the main way to reproduce portraits for homes, schools and public buildings, and the elaborate frames signaled the importance of the men pictured. The print's place in the Thanksgiving group reflects how the holiday took on national meaning over that period, especially after Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving in 1863. Look closely at how the engraver balanced fine detail in the faces against the scrollwork around them.
