Emancipation Statue, Boston Mass.

The stereograph features a black and white image of a statue featuring Abraham Lincoln standing by a kneeling male slave, his proper left hand raised as he is about to emancipate the slave. In his proper right hand, which rests on a bronze podium, Lincoln holds an unrolled copy of the Emancipation Proclamation. To the rear of the figures is a whipping post, chains, shackles, and a frayed whip. On each corner of the podium are fasces and around the base of the podium are thirteen stars. A bas-relief of George Washington decorates the angled face of the podium and a Union shield decorates the inner face of the podium. Plants adorn each side of the statue, and an inscription is included. Buildings stand in the image\u27s background. The photograph is mounted on a yellow card with slightly rounded edges.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-photographs/1133/thumbnail.jp
