Abstract:: Depicts Lincoln with his cabinet members. Grant is prominently featured as well. Based on A.H. Ritchie's popular lithograph depicting Lincoln reading the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet. Thomas Kelly also printed a Confederate version of this scene, simply replacing the faces with those of Jefferson Davis, R.E. Lee and others.
