He is celebrated as one who loved ordinary things and bore courage like beaten gold.
The Springfield Republican argues Lincoln’s fame is secured beyond dispute through public tributes and editorials, predicting limited future controversy while noting his enduring role as a symbol of emancipation. It compares him to Cromwell and Napoleon, and concludes that his name embodies broader causes beyond the man.
Oil Portrait of Lincoln attributed to William Mathews, a Lincolndescribed artist and choirmaster, is featured alongside a Lincolnbust by G. Lazzerenini and a Jefferson portrait in fur lined coat. The display includes a Jumel mansion secretary desk, a Tuckerman house colonial couch, an empire chair called Washington chair with gilded Washington head, Jacobean and Flemish presses, and chairs bearing Henry Clay’s crest among other historic pieces from the collection of James Fay in the former Harmony Club building on West Forty Second Street.
