Carl Sandburg

Description

Carl Sandburg captures a profound moment in American literary and historical convergence, where Slim Aarons photographed the celebrated poet and Lincoln biographer in 1960 at the Chicago Historical Society Museum. Sandburg sits at Abraham Lincoln's own desk, positioned beneath the iconic 'rail-splitter' portrait of the sixteenth president. The composition reveals Sandburg in contemplative repose, his distinguished presence commanding the frame while historical artifacts surround him, from the weathered desk where Lincoln once worked to the solemn portrait watching over the scene. This photograph preserves a singular intersection of two American icons, where the poet who immortalized Lincoln in words meets the physical remnants of the president's legacy.
