Lincoln on the Battlefield


     I am taking into consideration this powerful picture of Lincoln on the battlefield, looking for specific features throughout the picture. The first thing I that is almost impossible to miss is the three men standing side by side in the center of interest. A tent stands directly in the back of them, with trash thrown carelessly about, in it and around it. In the very background, there are what look like young oak or maple trees. Cloth and debris hang from a couple of the limbs. The three men in front all have good posture, Lincoln being in the center of the two. He is the only one with the tallest hat on, and he wears a fine formal coat, while the other men look more to the scruffy side. Lincoln stands with his hands to his sides, while the other two men have one hand in their coats. All of the men wear hats,  Lincoln wearing the tallest hat out of all of them. Probably to show superiority.
