Portraits of Lincoln with a child are far less common than his solo likenesses, and that is what sets this color lithograph apart. It shows the president with his younger son, called Tad by the family and spelled Thad in the title, a boy known for his playful, unruly ways during his years in the White House. L. Prang & Co. of Boston produced the print in the late 1800s, when the firm was known for color lithographs that brought images of famous Americans into homes. Printed decades after Lincoln's death, it shows how the public continued to remember him as a devoted father.
