Our pewter sculpture of President Abraham Lincoln is a wonderful tribute to the former Illinois lawyer and Congressman who ensured the strength of his Republican Party, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, guided the nation through the Civil War, and succeeded in preserving the Union. It makes a wonderful item for decorating a home, office, or library. 

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War, formally proclaiming the freedom of all slaves held in areas still in revolt. The Proclamation invited black men to join the Union Army and Navy, resulting in the enlistment of approximately 200,000 freed slaves and free black people before the war's end.

The original hand written Emancipation Proclamation and many other letters, photographs and Lincoln records are preserved, protected and held in trust by the National Archives.
