"Emancipation Proclamation" is an oil painting by American artist A.A. Lamb, depicting the triumphant arrival of the Emancipation Proclamation in Washington, D.C. The painting depicts a chariot drawn by white horses, driven by a female figure representing Liberty, holding the document aloft. Abraham Lincoln leads the procession on horseback, followed by Union soldiers and a crowd of freedmen, all against the backdrop of the Capitol Building. This powerful allegory celebrates the end of slavery and the promise of freedom for African Americans.
