Philippus Herzog von Orleans Regent der Konigreiche -- Franckreich und Navarra

Born as Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, but known widely as Philippe d'Orléans or simply Orléans, the portrait in question encapsulates the life of an intriguing figure from French history.

Abraham Lincoln.

This lithographed full-length portrait of Abraham Lincoln, by or after John Chester Buttre, presents the 16th President of the United States in a poised and contemplative stance, with his left hand on his hip and right hand resting on a table adorned with books, an oil lamp, and a significant document on constitutional freedom. Rendered in a room reflecting the classical style, complete with a large column, drapery, a rococo chair, and a Persian carpet, this image is imbued with symbolism and artistry. Lincoln's hand's proximity to a document reading "FREEDOM" potentially alludes to the Emancipation Proclamation, dating the print to circa 1863.
