- jcims 7y agoThank you so much for linking that image, I’ve never seen it before. Can’t get enough of ol’ Abe and seeing Norman Rockwell’s interpretation of him in the trenches is amazing. Edit: Just ordered a print. I needed some inspiration.
- trothamel 7y agoI hope it inspires you, and others as well.
