"EMANCIPATION OF THE SLAVES, - Proclaimed on the 22d September 1862, by ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President" Scarce Black History Emancipation Engraving
c. 1862, September 22nd, 1862 Civil War Era, Lithograph Print titled, "Emancipation of the Slaves" depicting Abraham Lincoln with a newly Freed Slave who is kneeling and kissing his hand, etc., Very Fine.
This scarce large lithograph measures 11.5" x 16", and is fully titled: "Emancipation of the Slaves, Proclaimed on the 22d September 1862, by ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of North America". Below it reads, "Published by J. Waeshle, No. 142, North Third St. Philade(lphia)." This dramatic scene depicts a male Slave and apparent father, with broken shackles spread on the ground, kneeling and kissing Lincoln's left hand in gratitude, while his Slave wife and 2 small Slave children stand behind the father. This print was previously mounted and displayed, now having overall even tone but for at the prior protected framed outer edges, having some damp stains along the bottom as shown. This print also depicts President Lincoln, who has his right hand raised, pointing towards the sky (and God). This image was inspired by an event that was said to have occurred when Abraham Lincoln entered the just surrendered city of Richmond, Virginia and a Slave kneeled and kissed his hand. Lincoln pointed towards heaven and said that it is God that should be thanked, not him. Noted at bottom below the printed text to the bottom edge is an ink presentation, reading: "Presented to Mrs Lydia R Bailey by her most Obdt. Servt. -- (Signed) W Mollerus".
