LINCOLN CARTOON, 1865 - The Peace Commission - Flying to Abraham's Bosom
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1865, we witness a momentous occasion during the Civil War era. President Abraham Lincoln stands tall and welcoming as he greets members of the Confederate peace commission in February. This satirical cartoon, originally published in a contemporary northern American newspaper, captures the essence of this historical event. The image showcases Lincoln extending his hand in a gesture of peace towards ragged men representing the Confederate States of America. Their faces depict emotions ranging from crying to uncertainty, reflecting the turmoil that had plagued our nation for years. The engraving beautifully captures this significant step towards unity and reconciliation. Amidst a backdrop of mid-19th century America, with its carpetbaggers and political divisions between North and South, this cartoon serves as both an artistic caricature and a powerful symbol of hope for national healing. It highlights Lincoln's role as a Republican Party leader dedicated to preserving the Union while seeking peaceful resolutions. As we delve into history through this remarkable artwork by Granger Art on Demand, let us remember that it represents not just an image but also an important chapter in our country's story – one where leaders like Lincoln worked tirelessly to bridge divides and bring about lasting peace.
