Description
- Abstract:
- In this scene Britannia, her left arm raised to her face in a classical gesture of remorse and mourning, places a martyr's wreath on the shrouded form. At Lincoln's head, a shrouded Columbia, her hair unbound, buries her face in the stars and stripes of a newly restored Union. At the foot of the bier, a former slave crouches in a pose of abject sorrow; at his side lie the empty chains and manacles of his former servitude.
