Color of Lincoln Partners
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865), 16th President of the United States, is one of the most well known Presidents in history, serving from 1861 till his assassination in 1865. He led the country through the turmoil of the American Civil War, while engaging in political, economic and financial modernization.
Abraham Lincoln was one of the first politicians to utilize the photograph as a means of getting his image known to the people. The photo of Abraham Lincoln taken by Brady, prior to giving the Cooper Union speech was given credit in part, by Lincoln with electing him as President. All of President Abraham Lincoln photographs were in black and white and he was the first President to have his picture taken by most of the prominent photographers of his day. Overall, there are over 120 main photographs of Lincoln taken during his later years.The Lincoln photos that have survived are highly valued as many original photographs are no longer available and some were destroyed by fire. Ambryotypes (paper prints) have allowed Lincoln photographs to endure the passage of time.
Now, Abraham Lincoln photographs images and pictures can be appreciated in full color and is available in "Color of Lincoln". The Lincoln book encompasses his interesting life as the "Truly American President", his highly debated religious beliefs, and gives an insight into his fascinating relationship with Mary Todd Lincoln, and also enlightens you about Lincoln's famous Gettysbury speech as seen through eyewitness accounts. Abraham Lincoln's use of photography in publicity is revealed, and the tragic events of Lincoln's death are unfolded through text and color.

"Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling. " (Abraham Lincoln 1860 - Springfield. Illinois)
Abraham Lincoln - from 1846 to 1865
Charleston, SC 1864- An Image of Slavery
Nothing brings home the savagery of slavery as photgraphic images. In this color recreation of a photo of the Mills House in Charleston, South Carolina (circa 1864) amidst the destruction of war. Master sits and slave stands in the sunshine. This image evokes the image of the slave as a beast of burden, with wagon and what appears to be a yoke on the slave. Here in color we can peer into the 19th Century and wonder on the accepted norms of the day.
Again, the addition of color provides a dimensionality to the materials of the 1860s in this political cartoon attempting to protray the Lincoln cabinet as incompetents printing money recklessly while running a war that is inpet in its execution. Lincoln is portrayed as more concerned with anecdotes and a thinly veiled barb at the President as a "political joke".
I'm ever amazed at the coincidences I encounter as part of theColor of Lincoln. In 1910, another Mr. Eaton, Edward Bailey Eaton collected photographs of Abraham Lincoln for the book Portrait Life of Lincoln. Here, one hundred years later, another linkage of Abraham Lincoln to another Mr. Eaton. I still ponder if I am related. - B. Eaton

Harold Holzer, Co-Chairman Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Committeee and Lincoln author
~"What a fantastic collection of Lincoln photos in color." Ron Reitveld, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus - Cal State University Fullerton and Lincoln Scholar
"Love the work! You seem to have mastered photo restoration and enhancement to a degree unmatched anywhere else. ... I can only imagine how many hours you've put into these images. It's a great service to history buffs like me." (J. F. -West Linn, OR )
~" I just purchased my second copy of the "Color of Lincoln" ... Congratulations on this magnificent book and best wishes for much success. I am the great granddaughter of Lincoln's photographer, Samuel G. Alschuler and I want to thank you so much for including the photographs of Lincoln taken by Alschuler in the book. My children and grandchildren were so excited to see the photos in your beautiful book."
~"I love the color photos and the path you have taken to tell the story of the person - Abraham Lincoln. I have found your content on his personal life thoughtful and seemingly well supported by first hand material…bravo for that. " (SR)
~"A unique high quality item" (rated 5 stars on Amazon)(RS)
~The “Color of Lincoln” offers an extraordinary view of this historic American. Bryan Eaton has done an amazing job of bringing Abraham Lincoln to life with his painstakingly detailed rendition of the original Lincoln photographs. Adding color to the Lincoln portraits serves to “complete” the man by affording that touch of life that makes him real and so much more than just a dusty archival photograph. This is a beautiful work of art. Thank you for bringing Lincoln back to life for us to understand in a new and exciting way!" (MH)
~"Color of Lincoln is a most welcome addition to my Lincoln library. It was obviously a labor of love. I wish I had thought of it, but if I had, I wouldn’t have known how to do to it. I am most struck by the enhancement of detail that the addition of color allows, both in up close portraiture, as well as the greatly enlarged portions of panoramic shots. This deserves to take its place alongside the classic Lincoln photo books compiled over the past 100 years. "-(MG)
~"I just received the book yesterday, and it is beautiful! "- (L.D.)
~"Great photographs!" (Ted)
