EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-colored woodcut print, we are transported back to the bustling streets of New York City in 1860. The image captures a pivotal moment in American history as a crowd gathers outside the New York Herald office to eagerly read the announcement of Abraham Lincoln's election as President of the United States. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement, as citizens anxiously await the results projected by Drummond Light onto a nearby building. The vintage atmosphere is palpable, with cobblestone streets and traditional architecture serving as a backdrop for this historic event. This snapshot from our nation's past showcases not only the significance of Lincoln's victory but also highlights New York City's role as a hub for political discourse and newspaper journalism during that era. As people huddle together, their faces illuminated by lanterns and torches, it becomes evident that this moment represents more than just an election result; it symbolizes hope for change and progress in America. Presidential elections have always been defining moments in our country's history, shaping its future trajectory. This artwork serves as a reminder of our democratic heritage and reminds us that even amidst crowded city streets, voices can be heard and votes can make a difference. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration from the 19th century, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while cherishing our shared history and celebrating those who fought tirelessly for freedom and equality.
