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 pencil sketch by Albert Berghaus is of Inauguration Day 1877. Outgoing President Ulysses S. Grant and President-Elect Rutherford B. Hayes leave the White House for the ceremony at the Capitol. Berghaus was a Reconstruction-era American illustrator who worked for Frank Leslie's Weekly. Berghaus' original works are extremely rare and few are in private collections. This sketch appears to be preliminary, with details such as the detailed stonework over the entrance to the North Portico only partially completed, as though Berghaus intended to use it for a larger work or finish the sketch later. See image 8772 to see the reverse side sketch and inscription.

Lee, and met with Lee at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865 to write the terms of surrender.

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 illustration from 1868 was published by Joseph Hoover of J. Hoover & Son and shows President Ulysses S. Grant and Robert Bonner riding in a horse-drawn carriage in New York. Bonner was a horse owner and publisher of the "New York Ledger." Dexter, the horse in the illustration, was one of his best known horses. Grant reportedly became enamored with Dexter and asked Bonner to give it to him as a gift after this ride happened. Bonner refused because he had great affection for the horse.

This photograph of General Ulysses S. Grant at City Point is a manipulated composite image with a 1902 copyright. It was created through the combination of three photographs: the face of Grant came from a photograph taken at his Cold Harbor, Virginia, headquarters, the body and the horse came from a photograph of Major General Alexander McDowell McCook, and the background of this photograph is of captured Confederate prisoners after the 1864 Battle of Fisher's Hill in Virginia. Grant served as an officer during the Civil War, rising to the rank of lieutenant general and obtaining command of all Union Armies. From 1869-1877 he served as the 18th President of the United States.

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.

This painting by George Peter Alexander Healy depicts four significant Union figures toward the end of the Civil War. In the cabin of the steamer River Queen are seated (from left to right) Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President Abraham Lincoln, and Rear Admiral David D. Porter. The meeting took place in March 1865 on the James River in City Point, Virginia, less than a week before the fall of Petersburg, Virginia. According to Porter, the discussion flowed mostly between Lincoln and Sherman, which is reflected in all four subjects' body language. Sherman had previously sat for a portrait by Healy and commissioned the artist to paint the meeting, providing him with first-hand accounts by himself and Porter and even a diagram of the cabin. Born in Boston, Healy was a popular portrait painter who had sketched and painted Lincoln multiple times during his presidency.
