Lincoln is shown here at the center of a composition built around the Emancipation Proclamation, the document he signed on January 1, 1863, which declared enslaved people in Confederate-held territory free. Printed around 1888 by the Strobridge Lithograph Co. of Cincinnati, a firm known for large commercial and decorative color prints, the picture belongs to a wave of late-nineteenth-century images that cast Lincoln as the Great Emancipator. Its date is a quarter century after the proclamation, a time when the Civil War was being remembered in popular prints and the reputation of the president was being shaped for a national audience.
