Edwin McMasters Stanton was an American lawyer and politician who served as Secretary of War under the Lincoln Administration during most of the American Civil War. Stanton's management helped organize the massive military resources of the North and guide the Union to victory.
Edwin Stanton was born on December 19, 1814, in
Steubenville, Ohio, to physician David Stanton and his wife, Lucy Norman
Stanton. He is remembered in history for serving as secretary of war under
President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. He continued to served
in that role under President Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination, but
a clash between Stanton and President Johnson over the country's future led to
turmoil within the administration, as well as Stanton's eventual retreat from politics
back into law.

| The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty. |
