This 1941 second printing of “Lincoln,: His life in photographs” by Stefan Lorant is a remarkable visual chronicle of one of America’s most revered presidents. Lorant, a Hungarian-American editor and photojournalist, curated a striking collection of photographs that capture the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Published just three decades after Lincoln’s assassination, this volume offers a unique glimpse into the 16th president’s journey, from his humble beginnings in a log cabin to his pivotal role in abolishing slavery and preserving the Union during the Civil War.
While this copy shows signs of wear befitting its age, the clean pages and secure binding ensure that Lorant’s powerful narrative remains intact. Collectors and Lincoln enthusiasts will appreciate the historical significance of this early printing, which predates many of the iconic photographs that have since become indelibly linked to Lincoln’s image. Beyond its visual appeal, this book serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of one of America’s most transformative leaders.
