Image of a memorial print for United States president Abraham Lincoln; Lincoln ascends into heaven assisted by Father Time and an angel (or "Immortality") from a crypt; three women at left (Faith, Hope, and Charity) can be seen grieving, one holds her hand out, another with two children in her arms, and a third is slumped forward on her arms weeping; beneath Lincoln is a bald eagle, Union shield on which is written "E pluribus unum" and the goddess Columbia (or Liberty) bowing her head in sorrow, staff with Phrygian cap in hand; Lincoln's discarded armor and sword lie on the ground near a Native American Indian with his hatchet and arrows sitting with head resting on his knees; on the tomb is written the words "A. Lincoln, Died April 15th 1865."
