EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lincoln Lantern, a significant artifact from the 1864 Presidential Campaign. Crafted with tin and glass adorned with intricate paintwork, this lantern stands as a testament to American ingenuity and political fervor of the 19th century. Measuring at 21.6x13.7x13.7 cm, this remarkable piece now finds its home in the esteemed collection of the New-York Historical Society in the USA. It serves as a tangible link to Abraham Lincoln, the revered 16th President of the United States (1809-65), who left an indelible mark on American history. The image captures not only a stunning work of art but also evokes powerful symbols associated with patriotism and national pride. The lantern features advertising elements, including flags and shields that promote Lincoln's campaign message while serving as memorabilia for his supporters. Moreover, it highlights how propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during elections in North America during that era. The presence of an eagle, a national emblem representing strength and freedom, further reinforces these themes. As we delve into this photograph's details, we are transported back to an era where promotion was essential for political success. This extraordinary piece invites us to reflect on America's rich heritage while appreciating both its artistic beauty and historical significance within our nation's democratic process.
