EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a significant moment in American history - President Abraham Lincoln's declaration of the first national day of Thanksgiving on November 26,1863. The cartoon by Thomas Nast beautifully illustrates this momentous occasion. In the image, we see President Lincoln kneeling in prayer alongside Columbia, the personification of America, symbolizing unity and gratitude. The cartoon reflects the political climate of that time as it highlights Lincoln's affiliation with the Republican Party. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times such as the Civil War, there is always room for thankfulness and appreciation. Nast's artistic talent shines through in his portrayal of middle-class Americans coming together to celebrate Thanksgiving. This depiction emphasizes the importance of community and shared values during difficult times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of our nation's history but also of the significance behind Thanksgiving itself. It is a time to reflect on our blessings and express gratitude for all that we have. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as a powerful visual representation of an important milestone in American culture - one that continues to be celebrated each year with family gatherings and expressions of thanks across our great nation.
