Sketch of the life of Abraham Lincoln
Arnold, Isaac N.
Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865
McCulloch who turns from the scene, and Johnson who sits in the left
foreground, are wonderfully like. As is the erect Dennison beyond them;
and Meigs, with his hand resting on the door-post, where he stood to
prevent disturbing entrances; Dr. Stone and Surgeon-General Barnes,
General Todd, Judge Otto, Sumner, Farnsworth, Speaker Colfax, and
Governor Oglesby, are looking down on the face of Lincoln with an
expression of respectful concern. * * * Judge Cartter and Ex-Governor
Farwell stand in front of Meigs, forming the right foreground of the
picture; they are given in profile and seem conversing.
The greatness of the picture lies in its correct transcription of an
actual scene and perfect portraiture of American men. It is just such a
work as, above all others, should be American property, for if ever
there was a _National_ picture, this is one.
