Leverage for emancipation?

President Abraham Lincoln visited the Army of the Potomac at Antietam from October 1–4, 1862, to personally urge Gen. George B. McClellan to pursue Confederate forces after the deadly September 17 battle.

Photographed by Alexander Gardner, the visit focused on assessing troop morale, reviewing the army, and pressuring for action.

We digitally restored the original image, from the archives of the Library of Congress, then cropped and floated it in a distressed cherry frame with a Civil War-era vibe.

Copies are this and other historic photos are available, inquire within.

We are open today and tomorrow, March 6 and 7.

San Vigilio (Punta San Vigilio) is a stunning, historic peninsula on Lake Garda, Italy, known for its romantic atmosphere, clear waters, cypress trees, ancient villa, and luxury hotel-restaurant (Locanda San Vigilio) that has hosted royalty and celebrities, offering a peaceful escape with swimming in the Bay of Sirens, beautiful gardens, and a glimpse into history, including nearby prehistoric rock engravings.

In 1913, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) painted this lovely watercolour on paper. It was presented by Lord Duveen, the most famous art dealer of the Gilded Age and the undisputed arbiter of taste to the super rich, to the Tate Gallery in London in 1919.

Now in our 26th year, Franklin Framing has considerable experience with fine art, photos, diplomas, sports jerseys, music posters, needlepoint, maps and many other items.

In addition, we have 35 years of experience with digital imaging (Photoshop) and restoration. We can fix your old photos.
