EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in American history. The image shows Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, alongside Allan Pinkerton and Major General John A. McClernand. Lincoln is seen wearing his iconic top hat, exuding an air of formality and distinction. Allan Pinkerton played a crucial role as head of Union Intelligence Services during the Civil War. He foiled an assassination attempt against Lincoln, showcasing his dedication to protecting the president and preserving the Union. The photo was taken shortly after the first battle on northern soil in Antietam, Maryland on October 3,1862. This event marked a turning point in the American Civil War and had profound implications for both sides involved. In this portrait-like composition, we see these influential figures standing together at what appears to be a military camp. Their presence symbolizes unity within the Union army during this tumultuous time in American history. This print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into an era defined by conflict and political turmoil. It serves as a reminder of Abraham Lincoln's leadership during one of America's most challenging periods while highlighting key individuals who played pivotal roles in shaping its outcome.
