Vintage print circa 1862 entitled "Emancipation of the Slaves" and depicting US President Abraham Lincoln being kissed on the hand by a freed slave after the Emancipation Proclamation issued on September 22 1862. The Proclamation ultimately consisted of two Presidential Executive Orders. The first, issued on September 22 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any Confederate states that did not return to Union control by January 1 1863. The second, issued on January 1 1863, named 10 specific states where it would apply. The proclamation did not actually make slavery in itself illegal but was a major step towards its abolition. Slavery was ultimately abolished and prohibited under the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution adopted on December 6 1865. Lincoln (1809 - 1865) was the 16th President (1861 - 1865) and the first to be assassinated. Print published by J Waeshle.

Lithograph colour print depicting George Washington, on horseback, in action during the Battle of the Monongahela. The battle took place on July 9 1755 in the vicinity of present day Braddock, Pennsylvania, and saw a British force under General Edward Braddock defeated by an alliance of French troops and Native Americans. Washington, a Colonel, was an aide to Braddock, who was fatally wounded in the fighting, and distinguished himself by riding back and forth across the battlefield, rallying the remnants of the defeated British forces and helping to ensure they made an organised retreat. Washington (1732 - 1799) later became the commander of the Continental Army (1775 – 1783) in the American Revolutionary War and the first US President (1789 - 1797). Print circa 1854 by Regnier, based on a painting by Junius Brutus Stearns (1810 - 1885).

Black and white engraving print circa 1866 entitled "The first reading of the Emancipation Proclamation before the Cabinet". It depicts a seated US President Abraham Lincoln and Cabinet members on July 22 1862 discussing the first draft of the proclamation to free slaves under Confederate control. The proclamation ultimately consisted of two Presidential Executive Orders. The first, issued on September 22 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any Confederate states that did not return to Union control by January 1 1863. The second, issued on January 1 1863, named 10 specific states where it would apply. The proclamation did not actually make slavery in itself illegal but was a major step towards its abolition. Slavery was ultimately abolished and prohibited under the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution adopted on December 6 1865. Engraving by Alexander Hay Ritchie (1822 - 1895), based on the painting by Francis Bicknell Carpenter (1830 - 1900).

The engraving, by Waterman Lilly Ormsby (1834 - 1908), depicts a Mexican War battle scene, showing Chapultepec Castle and the Popocatépetl volcano in the background.

Washington (1732 - 1799) was the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783) and the first US President (1789 - 1797). The Battle of Trenton took place on December 26 1776 after Washington crossed the Delaware River north of Trenton, New Jersey, in hazardous weather and led his army against Hessian soldiers garrisoned at Trenton. Almost the entire Hessian force was captured, with negligible American losses, and the battle boosted the Continental Army's flagging morale.

Portrait photo circa 1860 of Andrew Johnson. Johnson (1808 - 1875) was the 17th US President (1865 - 1869) and took office following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He was the first Vice President to succeed to the Presidency due to the assassination of a predecessor and had himself been a target of the assassination conspirators (Johnson's would-be assassin fled Washington after losing his nerve). Johnson subsequently became the first sitting US President to be impeached (1868) but was eventually acquitted of "high crimes and misdemeanors", the primary allegation being that he violated the Tenure of Office Act. Historians often rank Johnson as one of the worst US Presidents. Photo by Jesse Whitehurst.

Lithograph colour print circa 1888 depicting the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War. The battle, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place on September 17 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the first major engagement of the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil and the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with around 23,000 casualties. Union troops (the Army of the Potomac) were under the command of Major General George Brinton McClellan and the Confederate forces were led by General Robert Edward Lee (Army of Northern Virginia). The battle was tactically inconclusive but is often described as a strategic Union victory because it ended Lee's invasion of the North. Print by Kurz & Allison.

Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of Hampton Roads, often known as the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (or Merrimac), during the American Civil War. The battle, the most famous naval engagement of the war, was fought on March 8 + 9 1862 off Sewell's Point at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where the Elizabeth + Nansemond Rivers meet the James River just before it enters Chesapeake Bay. It was part of a Confederate bid to break a Union blockade which had cut off Virginia's largest cities Norfolk and Richmond from international trade. The engagement was significant because it was the world's first meeting in combat of two ironclad warships - the Confederate CSS Virginia (in reality the salvaged federal frigate USS Merrimack which had been fitted with iron armour and renamed the Virginia) and the smaller Union USS Monitor. On March 8 the Virginia destroyed two conventional wooden Union ships and a third, the USS Minnesota, ran aground (burning offshore in the print to the left of the fighting ironclads). The next day the Virginia returned to finish off the Minnesota but was met by the Monitor which had arrived overnight and took position to defend the Minnesota. The ironclads fought for around three hours but neither inflicted fatal damage and there was no clear winner. The battle won worldwide publicity and marked a new era in naval warfare - leading naval powers Britain and France halted construction of wooden-hulled ships and others soon followed.
