This is a color lithograph from 1865 entitled "Abraham Lincoln's Last Reception". The lithograph depicts the reception (possibly in the East Room) following his second inauguration. The print accurately depicts First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln attending the reception. Vice President Andrew Johnson, General Ulysses S. Grant, and his wife Julia Grant did not attend the event.

This photograph entitled "President Grant and Friends at his Cottage by the Sea" was taken by G. W. Pach of the Pach Brothers photograph studio. The cottage was located in Long Branch, New Jersey. Grant and his family often spent the summer vacationing at this home on the shore. The individuals in the photograph are identified as: President Ulysses S. Grant, First Lady Julia Dent Grant, and her father Frederick Dent in the front row. In the back row: M.G. Wilkins, Mrs. General Morris, Nebraska Senator Phineas Hitchcock, and Mr. A.P. Merrill.

This photograph, taken by Mathew Brady, is of First Lady Julia Dent Grant. She described her husband's years in the White House from March 4, 1869 until March 4, 1877, as "the happiest period" of her life. While her husband fought during the Civil War she did not shy away from the action herself, moving with him to different postings wanting to stay close to him. While First Lady she entertained often and lavishly, and following the end of his presidency, the couple took a trip around the world. She was one of the first First Ladies to write a memoir, but it went unpublished until 1975. She was buried in the famous Grant's Tomb in New York City alongside her husband.

This painting by Peter Frederick Rothermel depicts a fictitious formal reception in the East Room of the White House following President Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration on March 4, 1865. The painting features a number of historical figures: President Abraham Lincoln (standing to the right of the large chandelier that intersects the middle of the painting) with General Ulysses S. Grant to Lincoln's right, presenting his wife, Julia Dent Grant, to the president (in a light pink gown, shaking hands with Lincoln). First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln stands to Lincoln's left, holding a fan to the shoulder of General Winfield Scott. To the left of the chandelier, orator Edward Everett (who died in January 1865, before the scene portrayed this painting purportedly took place) is seated, and Secretary of State William H. Seward and General William Tecumseh Sherman are standing (Sherman stands between the two men, but toward the back). Rothermel was an American painter who is mostly known for his large historical paintings.
