EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a caricature of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, during his re-election in 1864. Created by Frank Bellew and published in a popular American weekly, this cartoon playfully exaggerates Lincoln's already towering figure. Aptly titled "Long Abraham Lincoln a Little Longer" it showcases the artist's wit and creativity. Lincoln, known for his height and distinctive appearance, is depicted as an elongated figure with exaggerated features. Despite its comedic nature, this caricature reflects the admiration and fascination that surrounded Lincoln during his presidency. The detailed lines and shading bring out the essence of his character while adding a touch of humor to the portrait. As one examines this artwork closely, it becomes evident that Bellew intended to capture not only Lincoln's physical attributes but also his political significance. This image serves as both a parody and homage to one of America's most iconic leaders. In addition to highlighting Lincoln himself, this cartoon offers insight into the social climate of mid-19th century America. It provides viewers with a glimpse into how public figures were portrayed in popular media at that time. Overall, this print is not just an amusing depiction; it represents an important moment in American history when politics met artistry. It stands as a testament to both Lincoln's enduring legacy and Bellew's talent for capturing personalities through satire.
