Abraham Lincoln, The President Elect, addressing the People from the Astor House Balcony, February 9, 1861
Black and white drawing of a man with a beard standing on a balcony. The man is wearing a suit with a white shirt and black bowtie. He stands on the second floor balcony railing of a building with two other men behind him; all three are looking down. The balcony has scrollwork along its outer edge. The building has four visible columns supporting the balcony; the two on the right are shorter. The columns are made of stone. The building stone facade is visible behind the columns. There are several people on the ground below, some wearing top hats. The hats of several onlookers are in the air. Two are on the ground to the right. There are lantern posts on the sidewalk. The mood seems festive. The background is indistinct.
