This essay was originally published in The Atlantic Monthly as a review of Abraham? Lincoln, a History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay. Owing to many suggestions and requests which have come from various quarters to the author as well as the publishers, a republication in book form has been undertaken, and the original text has been revised and slightly modified to adapt it to that purpose. The portrait of Lincoln which forms the frontispiece is from a photograph taken (probably in i860) before his election to the Presidency, and is regarded by competent judges as one of the best and most characteristic likenesses of him extant. An etching by M. Rajon, the late eminent French artist, and a recent masterly engraving on wood by Mr. Gustav Kruell, were both based upon it, but it is now for the first time reproduced, by the photogravure process, with absolute fidelity to the original, through the courtesy of its possessor, Mr. W. L. Garrison, of Boston. About the Publisher Forgotten Books

If you are looking fir in depth discussion of the masterful horse paintings, this volume will leave you wanting more.. Book arrived in perfect condition.. There are supposed to be more than 50 pictures in this book.The text clearly indicates this. I enjoyed this book very much,there's a lot of use of modern elements combined with rustic and traditional ones that makes for an updated yet timeless look.this is not a fuzzy,girly take on decorating,it's a more masculine,edited look with beautiful colors and textures and terrific style.If you are someone with a tendency for a certain style,this book will make you think outside the box and you'll want to color outside the lines.Highly recomend it.. But the horses, though magnificent, aren't my favorite. I highly recommend this book for yourself or as a gift to someone who loves Asian culture, history, and art. While Remington sculptures look realistic and capture the dynamic strength of the horse, Hsu renders his horses just as dynamically i
