Description
This color photogravure features a young African American man wearing a tan military uniform returning home to his family. He is standing in the doorway on the left and a young girl is hugging his leg. The young man has his arms outstretched toward a woman on the right who is holding a baby. An old man and a young boy are watching. There is a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln draped with an American Flag on the back wall beside a china cabinet. A dining table with a few place settings on it is on the viewer's right. Part of the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, courtesy of the Indiana State Museum
