Description
This print depicts Lincoln and his family gathered around a table. On the left side sits Mrs. Lincoln, wearing a blue silk dress. Willie stands next to her with a book open in his hands. Tad sits upon a footstool at her skirts, drawing. On the right side of the table sits Lincoln in a dark suit with a white shirt. He holds a closed book. Robert stands next to him in military uniform with one hand tucked inside his jacket. The room features red curtains, a checkerboard floor, and an open colonnade with a view of farmland, a farmhouse, and a river with a boat. The table is draped in green cloth and features three books, a vase of flowers, and a piece of paper reading "Proclamation of Freedom." The title is printed below the image.
