EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Lincoln family in a tender moment during a difficult time in American history. Taken in 1861, just as Abraham Lincoln was assuming the presidency and the country was on the brink of civil war, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private lives of one of America's most iconic families. In the photograph, Mary Todd Lincoln, the President's wife, is seen holding her youngest son, Thomas "Tad" Lincoln, on her lap. Abraham Lincoln sits beside her, his expression thoughtful and serious, as he gazes off into the distance. Their eldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, stands behind them, looking down at his father with a protective expression. Despite the solemnity of the scene, there is a sense of warmth and love that radiates from the image. The Lincolns' clothing and the simple setting - a wooden chair and a parlor backdrop - speak to a time and place that is both familiar and distant. This photograph, taken in 1861 and likely printed around 1873, is a poignant reminder of the human side of history. It invites us to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of the Lincoln family during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history, and to appreciate the enduring bond of love and family that sustained them through it all.
