EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the first news of Abraham Lincoln's election to President in 1860. The image showcases an authentic document, showcasing the handwriting of that era, which was instrumental in disseminating this crucial information across North America. The photograph transports us back to a time when communication systems were vastly different from what we know today. It reminds us of the wild west and the urgent delivery of important political declarations through postal services. In fact, it is fascinating to note that news traveled all the way to the Pacific coast by Pony Express. Abraham Lincoln, one of America's most revered leaders, is at the center of this historic event. His presidency marked a turning point for the United States government during a tumultuous period in its history. The print evokes feelings of nostalgia as we imagine how people eagerly awaited such news during those times. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich past and highlights the significance placed on politics and government even then. This remarkable piece from Peter Newark American Pictures captures not only an iconic moment but also represents an essential part of American heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded once again why Abraham Lincoln remains an enduring symbol of leadership and hope for generations to come.
