Synopsis:
From Fred Reed, the award-winning author of Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness, comes Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon. In this fascinating and lavishly illustrated volume, Reed continued his exploration of the ever-changing popular depiction of Lincoln – the idealized, the idolized, the iconic – the man and the myth – bringing our understanding up to the present day.
More than 1,400 images, both famous and obscure, show Lincoln on coins, tokens, medals, stamps stocks, bonds, and paper money – as well as paintings, sculptures, magazine covers, advertisements, cartoons, movie stills, and other diverse media. The narrative is engaging and thought-provoking. The illustrations – some legendary, some never before published – show us how America has seen its most honored president, how that vision has changed over the years, and what is says about our great nation.
