EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful lithograph, we witness a significant moment in American history as President Lincoln diligently writes the Proclamation of Freedom on that fateful day in January 1863. The artist Blythe skillfully captures the intensity and determination etched on Lincoln's face, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to abolishing slavery and granting emancipation to millions. As our eyes wander through the scene, we notice a subtle yet profound detail: a bust of Andrew Jackson, Lincoln's Unionist predecessor, resting on the mantelpiece. This inclusion serves as a reminder of the weighty responsibility inherited by Lincoln to preserve unity within a divided nation. However, it is impossible not to be struck by another poignant element present in this composition. Hanging from the bookcase is James Buchanan's portrait with a rope tightly wound around its neck. This haunting image represents the burden that Lincoln carried upon his shoulders - rectifying the mistakes made by his predecessor and steering America towards justice and equality. The lithograph encapsulates both hope and struggle; it immortalizes an extraordinary leader who dared to challenge societal norms for what he believed was right. It invites us to reflect upon how far our nation has come since that pivotal moment when these words were penned onto paper – forever changing America's course towards freedom for all its citizens.
