Emancipation Proclamation 1864

Emancipation Proclamation 1864. Lincoln's executive order rendered as a commemorative engraving the year after it took force — language that turned a war for union into a war for freedom, set in type with the gravity of a country still bleeding toward its meaning. About the Source Bella Frye sources artifacts from the great American historical archive — the Library of Congress, the National Archives, regional historical societies, and the lithographic publishers (Currier & Ives, Kurz & Allison, Endicott, Sarony, Prang) who documented the republic from its founding through the early twentieth century. The aged paper tone, the engraver's hand, and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print.
