President Lincoln 1887

Winslow Homer's 1887 illustration, "President Lincoln, General Grant, and Tad Lincoln at a Railway Station," depicts a pivotal moment in American history. This small, yet impactful, pen and ink drawing captures a scene between President Abraham Lincoln, General Ulysses S. Grant, and Lincoln's son Tad during the American Civil War. The illustration, part of the "Grant's Last Campaign" series, is a testament to Homer's keen eye for detail and his ability to encapsulate complex narratives within small formats.
