Apotheosis CDV of George Washington welcoming Abraham
Lincoln to heaven with a wreath of laurels. The word "apotheosis" is defined as elevating a person to a
divine status. Washington can be seen as a god-like entity holding a wreath of
laurels above Lincoln's head, which can be traditionally interpreted as a
martyr receiving a crown. This image was issued after Lincoln's assassination,
no doubt influencing the emotional aspect behind the art. Stamped Jos. Ward, Boston on the verso.
