Description
This detailed illustration by Mark Summers employs fine intaglio-style engraving techniques to depict historical figures, including Abraham Lincoln. The composition combines a larger close-up portrait of Lincoln on the right with a domestic or office interior scene on the left showing three men in period military attire seated and conversing. The entire image is rendered with meticulous parallel line work and crosshatching, creating a textured banknote or postage stamp aesthetic. A facsimile signature of Abraham Lincoln appears across the lower portion of the interior scene. The top left corner displays the text 42USA, and the bottom left shows the year 2009.
