EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Lincoln in City Point, pub. 1865" captures a significant moment in American history. The image showcases Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, during his visit to City Point in 1865. In this powerful depiction, Lincoln is seen on horseback, riding through a crowd of soldiers and civilians. The flag of the Union Army proudly waves behind him as he surveys the scene with determination and resolve. However, what makes this image particularly poignant is that Lincoln appears injured and rides with a wounded limb. The artist skillfully portrays both the strength and vulnerability of this great statesman amidst the backdrop of the Civil War era. It serves as a reminder of the immense challenges faced by America during that time - casualties were high, medical services were stretched thin, and healing wounds was an ongoing struggle. Beyond its historical significance, this print also highlights various animals present in the scene - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - symbolizing resilience and unity amidst adversity. Overall, "Lincoln in City Point" offers viewers a glimpse into one man's unwavering commitment to his country during tumultuous times. It stands as a testament to Lincoln's leadership and enduring legacy as well as an homage to all those who fought for freedom during America's darkest hours.
