In Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon, Reed continues his exploration of the ever-changing popular depiction of Lincoln—the idealized, the idolized, the iconic—the man and the myth—bringing our understanding up to the present day. More than 1,400 images, both famous and obscure, show Lincoln on coins, tokens, medals, stamps, stocks, bonds, and paper money—as well as paintings, sculptures, magazine covers, advertisements, cartoons, movie stills, and other diverse media. The narrative is engaging and thought-provoking. The illustrations—some legendary, some never before published—show us how America has seen its most honored president, how that vision has changed over the years, and what it says about our great nation.
