Description
This black and white illustration is of Edward Everett, an American politician, Unitarian pastor, educator, diplomat, and orator from Massachusetts who is often remembered as the featured orator at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in 1863, where he spoke for over two hours—immediately before President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous two-minute Gettysburg Address. Everett is depicted wearing a dark suit, vest and tie with a white shirt. Everett's name is captioned below the illustration. The illustration is in volume eight of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.
