Masterfully illustrated with black and white engravings, this work brings Lincoln’s most famous speech to life. The large dramatic illustrations alternatingly depict Lincoln delivering the speech with imagery from the speech itself. With an established slow pace to the text, readers have time to contemplate the powerful images and words from the speech. This captivating presentation of Lincoln’s remarkable speech is a wonderful way to introduce young students to the Gettysburg Address and its historical significance, but it would also provide a deeper and more beautiful understanding of the speech for older students. Although somewhat rare, this work would be a wonderful companion to any Lincoln or Civil War studies.
