2009 Abraham Lincoln The Image of His Greatness Illustrated History Book

This book explores how Americans have seen and re-imagined Abraham Lincoln from the 19th century to the modern era. Rather than a standard biography, it focuses on Lincoln’s public image—how he evolved from man to myth, ideal, idol, and icon.

Inside, you’ll find hundreds of images including:
• Coins, medals, and tokens
• Postage stamps and paper money
• Political cartoons and campaign materials
• Paintings, magazine covers, advertisements, and rare visual media

The book was released in conjunction with the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and offers thoughtful commentary on what Lincoln’s image reveals about American values, identity, and national memory over the past 160+ years.
