EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, June 3,1860" captures the essence of one of America's most iconic leaders. Taken by Alexander Hesler in 1860 and printed around 1880 as a platinum print, this photograph showcases President Abraham Lincoln during a pivotal time in American history. In this portrait, Lincoln exudes strength and determination as he gazes into the distance. His rugged features tell a story of resilience and wisdom gained through years of political turmoil. As the United States teetered on the brink of civil war, Lincoln's leadership would prove crucial in guiding the nation towards unity. The image is steeped in historical significance; it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by both Lincoln himself and his divided countrymen during this tumultuous era. The photo offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of a man who would go on to become one of America's greatest presidents. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork stands as a testament to Hesler's skillful craftsmanship and ability to capture not only physical likeness but also deeper emotions within his subjects. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own understanding of politics and power while appreciating the artistry behind this remarkable piece. As we admire this portrait today, let us remember Abraham Lincoln's enduring legacy: his unwavering commitment to preserving democracy and ensuring equality for all Americans.
