Abraham Lincoln the Martyr Victorious Print, 1866 Civil War Presidential Memorial Wall Art

“Abraham Lincoln, the Martyr, Victorious” is a dramatic 1866 memorial print showing Lincoln’s spirit ascending to heaven after his assassination, where he is received by George Washington among a host of angels.

Designed by W. H. Hermans and engraved by John Sartain, the image belongs to the wave of mourning art created after Lincoln’s death. Rather than presenting Lincoln as a conventional portrait, the print transforms him into a national martyr: lifted above the clouds, crowned with symbolic honor, and welcomed by Washington as part of America’s sacred historical memory.

Its appeal is immediate. The image is part presidential portrait, part Civil War memorial, part religious allegory, and part patriotic Americana. The dark clouds, radiant upper scene, angelic figures, and meeting of Lincoln and Washington make it especially suited to studies, libraries, offices, classrooms, dens, history rooms, and interiors shaped by American history and old-world character.

This print has been digitally restored from historical source material to preserve the character of the original while improving clarity, contrast, and detail for modern display.
