 | | The portrait of William, the artist’s son, was inscribed “Willie Jenkins/by his Pa/Bards Town, KY/ Dec. 1867.” The Lincoln portrait was the last to come down. | | | Her mother threw some of the portraits out and saved six—portraits of William Henry Mann, his wife, his brother, and one of his sons, a portrait of the artist’s son, and one of Abraham Lincoln. | | | Nor is it likely that his portrait is based on a composite. |

| | Lincoln, who had made the Proclamation with the intent of it having an important political impact, was enthusiastic in helping Carpenter, even to the extent of letting him use the White House state dining room as his studio for six months. | | | This is one of most famous prints of Lincoln, a family portrait based on a painting of Samuel B. Waugh and engraved by William Sartain. | | | As soon as it was issued, this print was accepted as the finest portrait ever done of Lincoln, and in fact was claimed by a number of critics to be one of the finest engravings ever produced. |
