Based on an account by Francis Carpenter, who spent months at the White House in 1864 painting Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation, the illustration shows a small, pale, delicate-looking boy who approached Lincoln among a crowd of waiting visitors. The boy told Lincoln that his colonel had discharged him because he was too sick to serve, that his father had died in the army, and that he had no mother and no friends โ€” \"nobody cares for me.\" Lincoln wept, and immediately made arrangements to care for the boy. Nast, who had never forgotten the emotional power of the drummer boy as a Civil War symbol, rendered the scene with characteristic warmth and sentiment โ€” depicting the boy as even younger than he actually was to maximize the emotional impact. Published two years after Lincoln's assassination, this illustration is a primary document of the nation's grief and idealization of its martyred president. An original print in a complete original issue โ€” held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
