The Proclamation of Emancipation 1895 Frame Style:Bourbon Frame as if the climb itself

as if the climb itself were the instrument of the light

Bienville Square's live oaks

was a question still being argued aloud

and the lantern-room geometry of a station that took ten years and several lives to raise

September 1899 — the hero of Manila Bay rendered in commemorative gravity

The Proclamation of Emancipation 1895 Frame Style:Bourbon Frame as if the climb itselfThe Proclamation of Emancipation 1895 belongs to the long memorial afterlife of Lincoln's order, a turn of the century commemorative lithograph that revisits the 1863 decree three decades on when the work of remembrance had become its own civic industry, and the document was already passing from law into legend.
