\u00a0Smithsonian Shares Lincoln Portraits with Educators <\/strong><\/h3>\n

across the Nation through Portfolio Set and Online Resources <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and the National Portrait Gallery have partnered to share the scholarship and collections of the exhibition \u201cOne Life: The Mask of Lincoln\u201d with thousands of educators across the country through an educational portfolio. Designed for middle-school and high-school students and their history and American studies\u2019 teachers, the portfolios present 10 iconic portraits\u2014each one a 13-by-19-inch mini-poster\u2014incorporating interpretive text. The portraits show the changing face that President Abraham Lincoln (Feb. 12, 1809-April 15, 1865) presented to the world as he began his presidency and led the fight to preserve the union during the Civil War.<\/p>\n

Lincoln was the first President to serve after photography truly came of age. He embraced the new technology to craft his image and keep himself in the eye of his fellow citizens. The portfolio includes the \u201ctousled hair\u201d portrait taken in 1857 that was used in early campaign materials and a Mathew Brady photograph taken just before Lincoln\u2019s groundbreaking 1860 speech at the Cooper Union. The latter image is known as the \u201cphotograph that made Lincoln president.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mask of Lincoln\u201d portfolio was made possible by a grant from the Smithsonian Women\u2019s Committee. SITES connects Americans to their shared cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play. Exhibition descriptions and tour schedules are available at www.sites.si.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
