EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - Abraham Lincoln taking the oath at his second inauguration on March 4,1865. Published in 1865 as a wood engraving by the American School of the 19th century, this image showcases the solemnity and grandeur of this important event. In this photograph, we see President Lincoln standing tall, surrounded by a sea of men and an eager crowd. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Chief Justice Salmon Portland Chase administers the oath of office to Lincoln. The presence of a Bible adds a touch of solemnity to the ceremony, symbolizing the weighty responsibilities that lay ahead for both president and nation. The significance of this image lies not only in its depiction of an iconic moment but also in its historical context. It serves as a poignant reminder that just weeks after this inauguration, President Lincoln would be tragically assassinated. This photograph immortalizes him during one of his last public appearances before his untimely death. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1865 when hope mingled with uncertainty. It reminds us not only of Abraham Lincoln's presidency but also his enduring legacy as one who fought tirelessly for justice and unity during one of America's most challenging periods.
