EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rustic world of the Lincoln family. The image showcases an iconic log cabin in Macon County, Illinois, built by Thomas Lincoln and visited by his son, Abraham Lincoln. Standing proudly outside this historical structure are Mrs. Norah Gridley, cousin of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, and Miss May Coleman with a typewriter in hand. The architectural expertise behind this remarkable cabin is attributed to the Megar brothers who can be seen alongside Mr. Stille in the photo. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of the building's design and construction process. The subjects' attire reflects turn-of-the-century fashion trends; Mrs. Gridley dons a stylish blouse while Miss Coleman exudes elegance with her dress and hat ensemble. This juxtaposition between rural surroundings and upper-class clothing highlights how even in remote areas like Macon County, people embraced contemporary styles. As we observe these individuals engaged in outdoor activities such as writing or typing on a typewriter seated at a table outside the cabin, it becomes evident that education was highly valued within this American family. Photographed by W. J Root in 1891, this image captures not only an important piece of history but also symbolizes Abraham Lincoln's humble beginnings before he became President of the United States and leader of the Republican Party.
