NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS The four pictures in this volume, as far as the author is aware, receive here their initial publication in a volume on Lincoln. The frontispiece is reproduced from an etching by Joseph Pierre Nuyttens, the Belgian-American painter and etcher. Mr. Nuyttens has portrayed with remarkable fidelity the spiritual appearance of Lincoln as he matured under the weight of his great responsibility. The photograph of the O'Connor statue (facing page 64) was furnished for this volume by the Illinois Centennial Commission. This statue, which stands in front of the Capitol at Springfield, Illinois, was unveiled October 6, 1918. Lord Charnwood of England made the dedicatory address. The Bartlett picture (facing page 192) is from a photograph of a bronze statuette of the President, made by Truman A. Bartlett and exhibited by him in Paris in 1877. The "Masters Portrait" (facing page 128) is believed to be one of the best of Lincoln taken before the debates with Douglas. This portrait has an interesting history, which is told in the following words by The Masters Studio of Princeton, Illinois: "On July Fourth, 1856, Princeton celebrated Independence Day in spread eagle style. Mr. Lincoln, of Springfield, Mr. Knox, of Rock Island, Owen Lovejoy and George W. Stipp, of Princeton, were the speakers of the day. "Mr. Lincoln was entertained by Dr. S. A. Paddock. After dinner Mrs. Paddock asked Mr. Lincoln to sit for a picture for her. To this he consented, and they visited the studio of W. H. Masters, where this char acteristic portrait was made. Mr. Lincoln inquired if his hair was all right and sat for the picture without further preparation, except to run his fingers through his hair, with the result shown in the portrait. "About 1872 Mrs. Paddock loaned the original picture to C. H. Masters, who had a large portrait made from it. Before her death Mrs. Paddock gave the original picture to Robert Lincoln. "Mr. S. G. Paddock, a brother of Dr. Paddock, who is now living in Princeton and was on the Committee on Grounds at the time, says this statement is correct, according to his recollection."
