EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1860, showcases the humble abode of Abraham Lincoln, located in Springfield, Illinois. The residence, captured by the lens of J. A. Whipple of Boston, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, its simple yet elegant clapboard design reflecting the values of the American heartland. The house, built primarily of timber, boasts of shuttered windows and a gabled roof, typical of the vernacular architecture prevalent during the nineteenth century in the United States. The exterior of the house, with its white and black color scheme, exudes a sense of warmth and homeliness. The use of lumber for construction was common during this period, reflecting the abundant availability of wood in the country. The residence, which served as the backdrop to Lincoln's political career, has since become a significant tourist attraction for history enthusiasts and tourists alike. The photograph, engraved for publication in the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the United States was on the brink of momentous change. The image of Lincoln's home stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this great American president and the country he led.
