Description

This lithograph features a head and shoulders portrait of President Abraham Lincoln with his head turned slightly to the viewer's right. Lincoln wears a dark jacket and vest, along with a white button down collared shirt and black bow tie. There is the slight use of shadow above both of Lincoln's shoulders. The words "Abraham Lincoln, The Nations Martyr." appear below the image, with "Assassinated April 14th 1865." just below that. Publication information is at the bottom of the page.
